Lincoln aimed to maintain the freedom of enslaved individuals primarily through the Emancipation Proclamation, issued in 1863, which declared that all slaves in Confederate-held territory were to be set free. He believed that this action would weaken the Confederacy's war effort and promote the moral cause of the Union. Additionally, Lincoln supported the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment, which would permanently abolish slavery in the United States. His efforts reflected both a strategic wartime measure and a commitment to the principles of liberty and equality.

It was a proclamation issued by Lincoln which freed all the slaves in states which were in rebellion (that is, the Confederate states during the Civil War). Lincoln threatened to free the slaves as a way to leverage the Confederacy into rejoining the Union. The Confederates refused. Lincoln followed through on his threat. Despite what many think, the Emancipation Proclamation did not free all slaves, only those in states which had seceded. Slaves in other states had to wait until the adoption of the 13th Amendment before they received their freedom.
I say Freedom :)
Zero, none of the states had guaranteed slaves freedom at this time.
Abraham Lincoln
Lincoln hoped to maintain the freedom of the slaves through the emancipation proclamation. The catch to this is that the slaves only became free if the Union won the war.
Lincoln showed freedom by freeing the slaves because they have a right to be free
