Main ideas in Lincolns Gettysburg address

to redefine the purpose of the Civil War, framing it as a struggle to preserve not just the Union, but also the foundational ideals of human equality and freedom articulated in the Declaration of Independence, and to inspire the living to continue this "great task" of making government "of the people, by the people, for the people" endure for future generations

How did the emancipation proclamation change the goal of the civil war

preserving the Union to a fight for the abolition of slavery
