How did the 1862 US Congress act to end slavery in the North?
ChuckSiata
During the course of the US Civil War, President Lincoln actively pursued plans to end slavery on a voluntary basis. For the most part, he had the support of the US Congress. In March of 1862, the US Congress endorsed Lincoln's plan for national compensated emancipation. However, it did not provide any funding for this plan. In 1862, Lincoln's plan would not have worked in the Rebel Confederacy, however, in the North, his plans had a chance to begin the process of gradually abolishing slavery with Federal funds used to compensate slave owners.
