Answer:

He considered the proclamation as a "fit and necessary war measure."

Step-by-step explanation:

using the Emancipation Proclamation, Lincoln wanted all enslaved African Americans to be freed during a bloody Civil War. Lincoln stated that "my paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and it is not either to save nor destroy slavery."

Hope this helps :)
