George Washington Actually President Lincoln was in office during the civil war in 1861. He wanted to abolish slavery, he was for the Union States (the north). The leader of the civil war for the north was General Ulysses Grant. The leader in the confederates (south) was General Robert E. Lee. The civil war was not necessarily about civil rights, but more about abolition of slavery. The north wanted to end slavery because they thought it was wrong and all that, but also because they did not really need slavery. The north was industrial while the south was mostly farmers and plantations. Civil rights movements did not begin until after the civil war and even then they were not fully in effect until 1950s. The civil war somewhat gave a motive to civil rights, but it was ineffective when it came to rights. FYI George Washington was a slave owner, he did not care too much on the topic of slavery because during his presidency in 1789 no one cared about slave rights or slavery the country just began. He was the first president.
