why did the south wan to separate from the north
Hard question, because he was the president of the US at the time of the civil war. He sort of supported the north because he did not like slavery and did not want the slavery in the US to spread. But overall he was just trying to help both sides. Lincoln was president of the United States, which during the war was the North..He wanted to preserve the Union above all else, even if it meant not freeing the slaves..His own words....
The North and the South began to think of each other as different sections because of the differences in economy and politics. The North was more dependent on industry and controlled most of the factories in America while the South believed that America should have stayed as a farming frontier. The North was also very opposed to slavery as most abolitionists were from the North. The South was being controlled by Federal power which resided in the North at that time, and the South wanted to be free of that Federal power. Because of this, the South's yearning for separation of Federal power eventually turned into longing to be free of the North. The South also did not want President Lincoln to be elected because they believed he was opposed to slavery as well. The North wanted Lincoln as president for the very same reason. Overall, the disagreements between the North and South prior to the Civil War produced sectionalism.
To keep him from abolishing slavery in the south.
Sectionalism was one of the causes of the Civil War. The Southern states seceded from the Union because they didn't want President Lincoln to free their slaves. The South depended on their slaves to help with their farms; the slaves were part of the South's life. When Abraham Lincilon became President, the South didn't want to be part of the Union. They became the Confederate States of America. After the Civil War though, the South was united again with the North and slavery was abolished.
Mr. Lincoln was a big fan of the North so he definitely wanted them to win.
They were Southern Confederates, and the South was at war with the North, and by April 1865, the Union had defeated the South and reuniting the South with the North by force. They wanted to kill the President of the Union, Abraham Lincoln. It was the only way they felt they could strike back at the North.
Lincoln had many views on the north and the south. He was definitely in favor for the north because, not only was he a republican and agreed with the abolition of slavery; but he also grew up in the north. He was also nominated to be president by the north, not the south. His views on the south were that he didn't want slavery and was upset about the fact that slavery was such a big deal, although he fought the war mainly for peace and unity.
They felt the North was taking them where they did not want to go, They felt that the North would change there life still . They also objected to Lincoln being elected.
Absolutly not. he did no want slaves the stupidest question ever.
Yes
the north didnt want slavery but the south want slavery
why did the south wan to separate from the north
Because the North didn't want to lose the cotton revenues - over half the export trade of the USA.
His idea for reconstruction was to bury the south. The north was bitter and they did not want to give the south a chance to rise back up.Andrew Jackson's Reconstruction Plan was an initiative to reunite the Northern and Southern states. Jackson's plan was different than Lincoln's in that he granted pardons where Lincoln wanted those from the South punished.
he was not with slavery he was with the North or with Abraham Lincoln
President Lincoln wanted Robert. E. Lee was his first choice but did not want to because Lee was from the south side and later became General for the South.
