D. It opened the door for African Americans to enlist in the Union army

Explanation:

The history of black Africans has always been troubled, full of prejudice, exploitation and humiliation. They were forced to work for free and in poor living conditions simply because they were dark-skinned. This inhuman past has made history in every country in the past centuries, including the United States of America. For the Americans, the slave trade had been banned since January 1, 1808, but the southern states did not stop enjoying African services, while those in the North faced them.

Although the secession war was intended to separate the southern states, this war also became a battle for human rights and freedom, as the purpose of the union was to keep the southern states in the country and free the slaves. When Lincon proclaimed the abolition of slavery, he opened the door for African Americans to enlist in the Union army and assist in the fight for their freedom.
