Best Answer

There is little evidence that salves were taken by force. Rather, slavery was declared verboten. All those slaves of African descent were declared to be free people, citizens of the United ans States, and by implication, residents of the state where they live. There were still indentured servants for many years after the Emacipation Proclamation. Those were primarily european immigrants that were, by contract, working off the costs of their ocena passage and first few years room and board. The involuntariness of the African slavery situation, is probalby what gave Lincoln cause for seeing the two peoples differently. He viewed African slaves (and their descendants still in bondage) as akin to kidnap victims. He probably did not view the indentured servants as being forced to come to America.

Was Lincoln a federalist?

I believe Abraham Lincoln was a federalist. He was against slavery and most people against slavery were feds. (Federalists were for the const't.) I believe Lincoln was born in the North were most feds. were b/c they did not have slaves. Like in the South were most anti feds were slaves and they wanted to count slaves as citizens ( see the Virginia plan and New Jersay plan were we then came up with the great compromise.) Wrong. Lincoln was not a federalist-he was a nationalist or centralist. Federalism means the states make the federal government, not the other way around. Abraham Lincoln was the absolute opposite of a federalist, he began the movement that slowly began taking away states' rights and made the federal government stronger.
