Thus, it did not "free" a single slave. That was left to the army.
And that means there was nothing 'voluntary' about it.
I'm certainly NOT arguing that point. What I'm presenting as my understanding of the historical context is that the Civil War was not started for the purpose of freeing the slaves.
No, civil war was started by those who hitched their wagen to the slavery horse for the purpose of trying to preemptively checkmate any attempts to free slaves by those who weren't even, on average, all that eager to free slaves.
