Why was the 1864 presidential election one of the most important elections in American history?
Lincoln's opponent, Gen. George McClellan, favored a more lenient approach to the South than the Republicans did; he also was not supportive of Republican plans to abolish slavery through military force. If he had won, probably the South would have received more generous terms when the war ended and the end of slavery would have been delayed. It is possible (though by no means certain) that this would have avoided some of our later problems. For example, the South might have recovered sooner economically and a more carefully thought out approach to emancipation might have prevented the relegation of most of the freed men to share cropping, which was really just another form of slavery. However, the times were so tumultous and violent that it might not have made any difference who won the election. After all, Lincoln was assassinated, and McClellan might have been, too.

What was Lincoln's political involvement with the issue of slavery?
The personal view of Abraham Lincoln was that slavery was wrong. This "personal" view can be said to be his political view as an adult and later as US President. Lincoln believed in the US republic, and as long as the Supreme Court said slavery was legal, then Lincoln's political view would have been formulated in terms of the supreme court of the land.Lincoln also believed in the way the Constitution said it, itself could be changed. In consideration of the temper of the times, he could have supported whether as president, or as private citizen an amendment to abolish slavery. Clearly the process of ending slavery in an orderly fashion would need to be worked out by the parties involved. It needs to be noted that actual political and military events in the US between 1861 and moving forward, would have a huge impact on the entire issue.
What terms means the removal of slavery?

How does president lincolns quotation in the New York newspaper differ on the subject of slavery from how the article discusses slavery and the civil war?
President Lincoln's quotation in the New York newspaper emphasizes his commitment to preserving the Union while also addressing the moral implications of slavery. In contrast, the article likely discusses slavery primarily as a cause of the Civil War, focusing on the political and social tensions it created. While Lincoln's words may reflect a nuanced understanding of the necessity to confront slavery for the sake of unity, the article might frame the issue more in terms of conflict and division. This difference highlights Lincoln's dual focus on both the ethical dimensions and the practical realities of the Civil War.

How did abolitionists help end slavery?
This requires a subjective answer because the end of slavery was the result of the Union remaining intact by defeating the Confederacy. The anti slavery abolitionists had words and influence but they had no army. This is not meant as a funny remark by the way. In my opinion as a student of US History, both when in high school, college and my interest in the War after that, the Abolitionists served to extend slavery. Here is why: A. The Abolitionists tended to radicalize their position against slavery; B. Politically speaking, because slavery had been a part of the Western Hemisphere for a few centuries, slavery was not a new issue; C. With that fact in mind, I have read of no Abolitionist formula or planned way to free the slaves in the South without it causing a major political and economic disruption to the entire Union; D. The Abolitionists had a strong "front man" in the person of the US President, Abraham Lincoln; E. Lincoln had at least one plan to end slavery based on the plan Great Britain used in the West Indies; F. The Abolitionist failed to see that their strongest supporter, Lincoln, had the correct agenda, which was to preserve the Union at all costs and take care of the slavery issue after that; G. The Abolitionists' other positions ( in political terms, their bad baggage ) was their intolerance of non - Protestant religions, and the fact that they themselves wanted no slavery, but did not consider freed slaves to be equal with White Protestants; and I. In my humble opinion, their radicalism, made Northerners less comfortable with the anti slavery movement. The bottom line as I see it, is this: Without the Civil War, (which no sound mind wanted ) the radicalism of those radically opposed to slavery, injured the movement to abolish slavery in the United States.
