The Women's National Loyal League was formed to pressure Lincoln to adopt a broader emancipation policy, specifically to include the abolition of slavery as a key goal of the war. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony were both strong advocates of emancipation and believed that the war presented a unique opportunity to push for greater rights for African Americans, as well as for women. While the League also worked to gather female volunteers to serve as nurses, their primary focus was on political advocacy and activism to end slavery. The fight for women's suffrage would come later, and was a separate issue from the League's primary goals during the Civil War.
