President Abraham Lincoln won the civil war. He appointed many generals to complete this task. His goal was to preserve the union, though during the civil war, it became a battle over slavery. Abe ended up abolishing slavery and winning the war over the south.

President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached its third year of bloody civil war. The proclamation declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free."
