Did Abraham Lincoln see the abolition of slavery as the major goal of the Civil War?
No. Lincoln detested slavery, but did nothing about it; his sole goal was to preserve the union. He believed that ANYTHING that would preserve the union and prevent the confederacy from seceding was proper to do. Lincoln himself wrote that if he could preserve the union by freeing all the slaves, he would do so; if he could preserve the union by not freeing ANY slaves he would do so, and that if he could preserve the union by freeing some slaves and not freeing others, he would do THAT. Which is what he did. The Emancipation Proclamation freed only the slaves within the Confederacy; it did not free any slaves within the areas controlled by the North.

How did southern slaveholders claim the north benefited from slavery?
They pointed out that the North's textile industry depended on southern cotton Well, they didn't really. Northern states didn't really have slavery much at all. Though they did want more political and military power than the south, so they started the civil war. The civil war actually really wasn't just all about freeing the slaves. Actually, freeing the slaves may have been the last thing on their minds.
Who wanted to end slavery?
The abolitionists in the North wanted an end to slavery. In order to keep you from false assumptions, let me remind you that the answer is NOT Abraham Lincoln. Contrary to what they teach you in Elementary school, he was not an abolitionist. Lincoln's goal at the start of the US Civil War was to save the union of the North and the South whether that meant freeing slaves or not. "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that." -Abraham Lincoln NEW RESPONDENT Even in the south the most educated and enlightened classes wished an end to slavery but not with coercive methods that would be counterproductive for the economy and public policy. They sustained a gradual and orderly emancipation of the slaves who, after their release, should be helped to play a role in civil society or to emigrate.
