Abraham Lincoln was the President during the American Civil War, which lasted from 1861 to 1865. He stated that his primary goal in going to war with the South was to preserve the Union and uphold the Constitution. Lincoln believed that maintaining the nation as a unified entity was essential, even as he grappled with the moral implications of slavery and its expansion. His commitment to restoring the Union ultimately evolved to include the abolition of slavery as a critical aim of the war.
