Answer:

Correct answer is B. It made ending slavery an official goal of the Union.

Step-by-step explanation:

Option A is not correct because it actually increased the ability to recruit soldiers, which allowed them to recruit former slaves.

B is correct as slavery became the goal of the Union and they led the rest of the war to totally abolish it.

C is not correct as no foreign forces participated in war.
