Abraham Lincoln played a significant role in ending slavery as he issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1862, declaring that all slaves in Confederate territory were to be set free. He also supported the passage of the 13th Amendment, which abolished slavery throughout the United States. Lincoln's presidency and his commitment to ending slavery were crucial in shaping the eventual outcome of the American Civil War and the abolition of slavery.
