President Lincoln did very little for slavery except to use them in his attempt to end the War between the States. President Lincoln wanted to make the War between the States more about slavery to keep Germany and France from aligning with the South and defeating the North. The Emancipation Proclamation actually never freed any slaves, however, in New York City it resulted in numerous hangings of blacks due to white fears of black assimilating among them and the loss of jobs to blacks in the industrialized north. At the end of the war between the states Gen. U.S. Grants' wife still held slaves. The US Constitution in 1860 there were 15 (so called slave states) and 18 (so called free states), if the War between the States were in reality been about slavery there would have never been a secession of states from the Union. The US Constitution made slavery legal and would have required 3/4 of all the states to agree on changing the Constitution. Gen. Robert E. Lee released all his slaves prior to entering into the War between the States.
