Lincoln used all the power of the Presidency to get his legislation passed by Congress. He called individual Congressmen into to see him and did what he could to make them see his way. He appealed to their sense of morality. He offered bribes of federal appointment to those that would co-operate and he blocked such appointmets for those who did not. He arranged for money to be paid to campaign funds. (Such is the substance of the recent Lincoln movie.)
