What did Abraham Lincoln do to stop racism or slavery?

Answer 1

When Lincoln stood firm his anti-slavery stand and the Confederacy refused to return to the Union, the Civil War brought out and Lincoln was determined to win because winning would force the Confederacy back into the Union and could outlaw slavery. In 1862, he established the Emancipation Proclamation in which he gave freedom to all slaves in the Confederate states that did not return to the Union by the New Year in 1863. Then, when the war ended in 1865, he promoted the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment, which made it unconstitutional and therefore illegal for slavery to exist in the United States.

Answer 2

Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery by issuing the Emancipation Proclamation. It freed all slaves in the states that were part of the Confederation who were not returned to the Union by January 1, 1863.this did not apply slaves in the slave states that didn't rebel and were still in the union. So, Abraham Libcoln did not get rid of slavery. He himself said the if he could end the civil war without freeing a single slave, he would.

Answer 3

He and the goverment enacted the emancipation proclamation.

Actually nothing, the emancipation proclamation only freed slaves in states in rebellion, where the US had no authority to enforce it anyway. Slaves in states still loyal to the US remained slaves.

It took the 13th amendment, after Lincoln was dead to legally abolish slavery and an executive order by FDR in 1942 to enforce the 13th amendment.

The emancipation proclamation was just propaganda with no legal power.
