Do you think lincoln was right to wait so long before declaring emancipation? why or why not?

Yes, it re-imagined the war as being about subjugation. The Emancipation Proclamation, or Proclamation 95, was a presidential declaration and official request issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863. It changed the government lawful status of more than 3 million subjugated individuals in the assigned zones of the South from slave to free. When a slave got away from the control of the Confederate government, by fleeing or through advances of elected troops, the slave turned out to be lawfully free.

Do you have more info about it ? i doubt this is the answer because i don't have all the information but if trouble was brewing in a clinic maybe it was an argument as to which clinic was better or smth of that nature
