By 1863 and the final Emancipation Proclamation, the Union army had transformed into the key force for instituting emancipation in the American West. However, Kristopher Teters argues that the guiding principles behind this development in attitudes and policy were a result of military necessity and pragmatic strategies, rather than an effort to enact racial equality.
