if remember right, my 4th grade teacher said he saw a negro family torn apart and when he got older he noticed that to help and stop slavery he had to do something. Lincoln failed a few of times, but he kept trying to help. One time he told this farm owner, "hey how would you like it of someone owned you and wiped you, if you said something or did something wrong???" and that day the farm owner remembered that and also helped Lincoln fight his victory to end slavery.
Abraham Lincoln stated that he believed slavery was morally wrong and that he was committed to preventing its spread into new territories. He also issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, declaring all slaves in Confederate states to be legally free.
In the "Fragment on Slavery," Lincoln argues that there is a natural right to equality among all people and that slavery is a violation of that right. He highlights the inconsistency of the American founding principles with the institution of slavery, emphasizing the need to address this moral issue. Lincoln suggests that slavery should be contained and eventually abolished to uphold the principles of freedom and equality.
Abraham Lincoln opposed the institution of slavery and believed it was morally wrong. He famously declared that "If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong" and worked towards its abolition during his presidency.
Lincoln's statement reflects his belief in upholding the laws and institutions of the states where slavery was already established. He intended to respect the existing legal framework and the rights of individual states to govern themselves without federal interference. This stance was part of his strategy to navigate the complex issue of slavery while focusing on preserving the Union.
Abraham Lincoln proposed a law prohibiting slavery in the territories as part of the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates during his senatorial campaign in 1858. Lincoln argued that the founding fathers intended for slavery to be contained and eventually abolished rather than expanded into new territories.
Abraham Lincoln believed that slavery was morally wrong and sought to prevent its expansion into new territories, while Stephen Douglas believed in popular sovereignty, allowing each state or territory to decide for itself whether to allow slavery. Lincoln's ultimate goal was to eventually abolish slavery throughout the nation, whereas Douglas prioritized maintaining the peace and unity of the country.
