Abraham Lincoln and some moderate Republicans favored gradual compensated emancipation of slaves in the United States before the Civil War. They believed this approach would help transition Southern society away from slavery without causing social upheaval. Prominent abolitionists like Frederick Douglass and William Lloyd Garrison, however, advocated for immediate and uncompensated emancipation.
