Best Answer

US President Lincoln's first goal was to end the Southern rebellion as soon as he could and deal with the abolition of slavery soon afterwards. As a war measure he could free slaves however he knew it would require an amendment to the US Constitution to officially abolish slavery. This was done in December of 1865 when the 13th amendment was passed and abolished slavery.
