What role or position did Abraham Lincoln hold during the civil war?

Answer 1

President Lincoln played very imprtant roles in the American Civil War. First off, he favored the Union (North) which was against slavery. He wrote the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1st, 1863. The Emancipation Proclamation was a Proclamationissued by Lincoln freeing slaves in those territories still in rebellion, like the South. Emancipation means- freeing someone from control of another. He also wrote the Gettysburg Address. (Four Score and Seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent, a new nation, concived in Liberty and dedicated to the propisition that all mean are created equal.) which actually was his least favorite but probably most popular speech ever given by Abraham Lincoln. So as you can see, President Lincoln played large parts in the Civil War, and in Abolishing Slavery.
