Most people today believe that Lincoln and his supporters were trying to abolish slavery by fighting a civil war. But if you go back to the real history, documents and letters, you will find out that they were keeping the southern states from seceding from the Union. This is a very debatable topic, seceding from the Union, Many say that is the southern states had left, England would have taken over North America.
