The Whigs and Democrats avoided and evaded the issue of slavery in the election of 1848 by splitting down the middle on who was for and who was against slavery. Whigs and Democrats in the South wanted to keep slavery. Whigs and Democrats in the North wanted to abolish slavery.
The South wanted more control of their own states. Lincoln did not support this. Also, the South supported slavery, and Lincoln didn't.

The radical abolitionists (circa 1800-1860) wanted the US to immediately outlaw slavery (with universal emancipation), and declare descendants of enslaved Africans as freedmen with all the rights of citizenship.

No. North wanted to end slavery and south wanted slavery
During the American Civil War, the North (Union) wanted to preserve the unity of the United States by defeating the Confederacy and ending slavery. They sought to maintain a strong central government and prevent the secession of Southern states.
In essence, it did not. Lincoln's cleverly written Emancipation Proclamation freed no slaves. Well generally in the north people were against slavery and they wanted to put a stop to it, (abolitionists) but in the south they were all for it. A lot of southern lifestyles revolved around slavery and they couldn't picture their life without it. A lot of Northerners on the other side found it to be cruel and uncivilized.
