Initially Lincoln intended to allow slavery to remain in the states that it resided in when he became president. After he gained office 7 states seceded from the union. This was the beginning of the end as aggression on both sides of the issue grew. The abolitionists, with the spread of the book 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' began to gain support to wipe out slavery. Once this movement gained momentum Lincoln was put into the position of ending slavery. With his speech at Gettysburg, and the Union win of the war a couple years later, the motion to end slavery began to become a legal motion.
