Lincoln saw as his chief responsibility to, by any means available to him, bring the
Confederacy to its knees, free the slaves by means of the Emancipation proclamation. He saw that the South was subjected to degrading Reconstruction, by the northern scalawags and carpetbaggers, who saw to it that registered southern voters lost their right to vote and were taxed at a huge rate,
so high that many southern citizens lost their houses and land.
Lincoln also wanted to ensure that no other states seceded from the union and that it remained intact. In Lincoln's Gettysburg address, a famous line was that
"A house divided against itself cannot stand."
