Why was Abraham Lincoln called the Great Emancipator?
yes, my civics teacher told me. he's known as the great emancipator. Lincoln, during the Civil war, was politically for slavery, but not morally. He only did this because he felt it would improve people's opinions about him, making it easier for him to maneuver throughout the battlefield without the public questioning him. Although he did state he had slaves, he treated them as family members and respected them. He eventually released the Emancipation Proclamation Act, which released all slaves in all states. Unfortunately, he did not control every state and slaves in the uncontrolled states were still held by the South.
