The correct answer is **b. The Emancipation Proclamation**.
The Emancipation Proclamation, issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, declared the freedom of all enslaved people in Confederate-held territory, which shifted the focus of the war to include the abolition of slavery as a central goal alongside the preservation of the Union.
