The Democratic Party, particularly its Northern faction, was critical of President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War. They accused him of dictatorial tendencies, especially in his actions regarding civil liberties and wartime measures. Many Democrats opposed the 13th Amendment, which aimed to abolish slavery, fearing it would disrupt the social order and economy, particularly in the Southern states. Their opposition was rooted in a desire to maintain the status quo and uphold states' rights.
