Lincoln personally opposed slavery but didn't really care about the Civil rights of the black man. When he was elected, states panicked and south Carolina was the first to try secession. He really cared about keeping the union together either by banning slavery, or not and this is what led to the war, to prevent a breakup of the union.
In the beginning with the he didn't free all slaves, just the ones of confederate states. Showing that slavery although he would prefer it gone, was less important then keeping states happy to be in the union.
He didn’t free a single slave in the confederate states bc had NO jurisdiction in the sovereign county. The emancipation proc was useless, simply a political tool, just like the slaves themselves. Why didn’t he free union slaves?
He didn't free union slaves because his goal wasn't to free slaves, but to keep the union together no matter what. Only freeing confederate states made them weaker, and kept the union side of slave owning states happy. Abe personly wanted to abolish slavery but not at the cost of the union.
Again, he never freed a single slave in the CSA. iIt was a political stunt by a monster that TRASHED the Constitution. Slavery was on its way to die a natural death and he had to go around killing people and incarcerating even Yankees just for disagreeing with him. Fuck Lincoln.
Slavery was not on its way out by any means. The slave trade was abolished but states were free to choose as the Missouri compromise was removed. You have a narrow view of hostory
