The first year of the US Civil War, US President Lincoln spent allot of time pondering about what could be done to end the war as quickly as possible. It was clear that the South's desire was to perpetuate slavery and thus the cause of the rebellion. He had labored hard to persuade the Border States to accept the idea that slavery with could be gradually abolished with proper compensation from the government for the loss it its slaves. Lincoln believed that if the Border States agreed to voluntarily begin a gradual end to slavery that the Confederacy would lose what ever chance they had in convincing those states to join with the South. Perhaps even to the degree of returning to the Union.Lincoln was sadly disappointed that even by July of 1862 none of the Border States was going to accept the gradual end to slavery. Even Delaware with less than 2,000 slaves, and not on plantations, would not agree with Lincoln's proposals. Lincoln even put forth that the time sequence could stretch as long as two generations. Since these states would not budge on slavery, Lincoln concluded that the Confederacy wouls also never yield its position on slavery.
