The war was fought primarily over slavery
So why did the north continue to allow slavery throughout the war? Why didn’t the north free their own slaves? Why didn’t the emancipation proclamation free northern slaves?

The South succeeded because they thought the Noth was going to push to free the slaves
The north fought the war to keep the South in the union. Which is why didn't really make any effort to free slaves in their territories because they didn't want to risk losing the few slave holding states in the Union.
Both sides like to moralize, but the Union army wasn't an army of abolitionists and a lot were drafted.
That being said, do you think there is any chance they abolish slavery as early as they did without removing all the former confederates from office?
Pretending Slaves haven't been at the heart of almost every North/South argument since the fricking declaration of independence is ignorant .
