One way in which Lincoln attempted to reassure the South about his stance on slavery was by telling the South he had no intention to interfere with slavery where it already existed. The American Civil War was fought from 1861 to 1865.
The north (Abe lincoln) fought with the south over the right to have slaves. the south wanted slavery. the north won.
There was no question of Lincoln siding with the South. He had been nominated and elected because he was moderate on the slavery question, but he had never actually been pro-slavery. He was President of the USA, and declared war on the Confederate states for the purpose of bringing them back into the Union.

He was fighting against the south so he was with the north fighting against slavery.
They were in favor of slavery while President Lincoln pressed against it. That conflict eventually began the Civil War between the North and South. The North supported Lincoln and no slavery, while the South begged to differ.
During the Civil War, the South wanted to fight for the right to keep slavery, while the North wanted to abolish it.
Lincoln would not allow the creation of any new slave states. So the South felt they would always be outvoted in Congress.
Because the Southern States were going to break away in order to retain slavery and the North couldn't survive without the economic engone of the South. Hence the war by the North to prevent the South becomming a separate sovereign entity.
To prevent the south from seceding from the north.
He was on the Southside and wanted slavery and his oppenont was Abe Lincoln
I don't really know much except for slavery and the fact that abe lincoln was president. Well, that isn't all the detail. Good try though. The thing is, that the north did not want slavery and the south, [ known as rebels] want slavery to keep going. So, the north and south got into a BIG fight about slavery, so that's what started the Civil war. PS: Abraham Lincoln was on the north side. He did not like slavery.
