The subject of the 1850 Fugitive Slave Act was a topic in the series of debates between Lincoln and Douglas. They saw the act as part of a hard fought debate that gave birth to the 1850 Missouri Compromise. Lincoln, was also sensitive about leaning to close to the Republican abolitionists .

Not every person who was against slavery supported President Lincoln's position that a voluntary transfer of African Americans to Panama was a good idea. Some abolitionists did agree with him . Harriet Beecher Stowe, who authored Uncle Tom's Cabin, did support colonization. Others such as scholar Frederick Douglas did not. In Lincoln's 1862 meeting with Black clergymen he complained about objections to colonization by saying that certain Blacks might do very well in the US after the war. With that said, he urged the clergymen to support him because many freed slaves might not do well in the US because of racial bias. Lincoln urged these leaders to support him because the area of Panama he had in mind was rich in natural resources.

They created the Confederacy of America, and elected Jefferson Davis as their president. Not long after they seceded the one and only Civil War started.
Did the south win the war?
No, it was in fact the North who won the Civil War because: The South was fighting for the right to own slaves and the north did not agree at all. Sometimes southern slaves tried to escape the south and flee to the North. (at that time all African- Americans were enslaved and could do nothing about it) . Back when slavery occurred, Abraham Lincoln was our President and of course, he also did not agree with slavery. So the South declared war and before long the South lost. Slavery was put to an end. Sadly though, shortly after the war had ended, Abraham and his wife were in a theater, watching a film and Abraham Lincoln was shot in the back of the head and killed by a southerner.
