Lincoln actually started the war to preserve the union, he used freeing slaves as a way to help preserve the union, he once said "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it..." Lincoln was very racist against blacks saying once "I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races..." A sad piece of information, but completely true.
