How did president lincoln view the confederacy?
I did an essay on this for homework. Lincoln sent a message to a newspaper writer who asked him why Lincoln didn't free all the slaves. Lincoln responded, "If I could save the Union and not free the slaves, I would do it. If i could save the union and free some of the slaves, i would do it. If i could save the union and free all of the slaves, i would do that also. But that is my professional opinion and it is of my mind that all men should be equal." So Lincoln mainly was concerned with saving the union but still was against slavery. For Lincoln, the civil war was all about saving the union, not slavery until it gets out of hand later.
