Lincoln is considered by many to be the greatest American President. He was elected on a strongly anti-slavery platform. On Sept. 22, 1862, United States of America President Abraham Lincoln issued the preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, declaring all slaves in rebel states should be free as of Jan. 1, 1863. He didn't seek reelection, his deed was done.
