i don't really know, but i know he was fighting slavery and prohibition during that time.
Lincoln was elected President in 1860. During Lincoln's presidency, the Southern states seceded from the Union because Lincoln and the Northern states were against slavery. Six weeks after becoming President, the Civil War began. In this war, the Northern states fought the Southern states. The Civil War lasted from 1861 until 1865. Linclon should deal with slavery with more power in his presidency to make the south states take his orders without a war.
He was fighting against the south so he was with the north fighting against slavery.
