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.
