Abraham Lincoln freed the slavery
Abraham Lincoln signed a document called the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, which supposedly freed all of the slaves in the Confederacy. However, since the Confederacy was not under Union control, this document had no legal effect on the condition of the Confederate slaves. It was actually a clever move that Lincoln used to give the Confederate slaves confidence to escape to the North. This weakened the Confederacy, which depended on slave labor for agriculture.
The document that President Abraham Lincoln used to free the slaves was called the Emancipation Proclamation. It freed slaves in the rebelling Southern states only, not border states. They were freed later. As Lincoln had no authority to free slaves, this was a war measure. The results were that slaves in areas captured by Union forces were freed.
He NEVER had slaves.
