Abraham Lincoln believed that slavery was morally and politically wrong, advocating for its containment and gradual abolition, particularly through the Emancipation Proclamation. In contrast, John Bell Robinson, a prominent Southern politician, supported the institution of slavery as a legitimate and essential part of Southern society and economy. While Lincoln sought to unite the nation under principles of freedom and equality, Robinson defended states' rights and the preservation of slavery, reflecting the deep divisions of their time. Ultimately, Lincoln's stance marked a pivotal shift towards emancipation, while Robinson's views represented the entrenched pro-slavery sentiment in the South.
