The correct response is: They wanted to make the announcement following a Union victory.
Members of Lincoln's Cabinet urged him to wait because they believed that announcing the emancipation of southern slaves would be more effective and carry greater weight if it followed a significant Union military victory. This would demonstrate strength and resolve, making the proclamation more credible and impactful.
