Abraham Lincoln viewed slavery as a fundamental cause of the Civil War, believing that the nation could not endure divided between free and slave states. In his speeches and writings, he emphasized that the conflict was a struggle for the nation’s soul, asserting that the principles of liberty and equality were incompatible with the institution of slavery. Lincoln aimed to preserve the Union while also framing the war as a moral imperative to end slavery, ultimately leading to the Emancipation Proclamation. This connection underscored his belief that the war was not only about preserving the Union but also about achieving a new birth of freedom.
