In January of 1863, President Lincoln issued the famous Emancipation Proclamation, which freed America's slaves. In November of that same year, he gave a public speech (the Gettysburg Address) which inspired all opponents of slavery to recommit themselves to bringing the war against the slave-holding South to a successful (though not vengeful) conclusion.

It said Slavery was Wrong.
Abraham Lincoln's Cooper Union speech in 1860 played a crucial role in shaping public opinion and solidifying his position as a viable presidential candidate. By effectively articulating the moral and constitutional arguments against the expansion of slavery, he appealed to both Northerners' sense of justice and their economic interests. The speech helped to unify the Republican Party and laid the groundwork for Lincoln's electoral success, ultimately contributing to the preservation of the Union during the Civil War.
In 1854, Abraham Lincoln made a speech about the popular sovereignty movement with regards to Kansas. He believed that slavery should be banned in that territory because it was morally wrong, not due to the voting opinions of its citizens. In other words, do not vote against slavery because its a preference such as citizens do not want Blacks to enter Kansas, but vote against slavery because as citizens you believe it to be morally wrong to enslave anyone.
He said slavery was wrong and should stop.
Lincoln used the Battle of Gettysburg as a pivotal moment to take action against slavery, delivering the Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863. In this speech, he emphasized the principles of liberty and equality, reinforcing the need to honor those who fought for the nation and to ensure that a "new birth of freedom" would follow the war. This address helped to frame the Civil War as not just a struggle for the Union, but also as a fight for the abolition of slavery.
President Lincoln's last public speech was given on April 11, 1865, from the White House, 2 days after Lee surrendered to Grant.
Because he did a speech that was against slavery.
