Did the north or south want slavery during the civil war?
During the Civil War the south wanted slavery and the north was fighting fot he rights of those slaves.Not quite. The south didn't want anything persay. The civil war is often catagorized as being a war over slavery, and this is false. The north was fighting to keep the union in tact. Abraham Lincoln stated that "If (he) could save the Union without freeing any slaves I(he) would do it, and if (he) could save the Union by freeing all slaves, (he) would do it....What (he did) about slavery, and the coloured race, (he did) because (he believed) it helps to save the Union."The south was fighting the was as a constitutional issue. They felt that the abolition of slavery and the compromises of 1850 and the Missourri Compromise impeded on their 10th amendment right to decide for themselves.
Who wanted an end to slavery?
The abolitionists in the North wanted an end to slavery. In order to keep you from false assumptions, let me remind you that the answer is NOT Abraham Lincoln. Contrary to what they teach you in Elementary school, he was not an abolitionist. Lincoln's goal at the start of the US Civil War was to save the union of the North and the South whether that meant freeing slaves or not. "If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that." -Abraham Lincoln NEW RESPONDENT Even in the south the most educated and enlightened classes wished an end to slavery but not with coercive methods that would be counterproductive for the economy and public policy. They sustained a gradual and orderly emancipation of the slaves who, after their release, should be helped to play a role in civil society or to emigrate.

What was the main goal for the north at the start of the civil war?
At the beginning of the Civil War the northern goal was simply to restore the Union at all costs. Slavery became the main issue in the following years of the war but the goal at the start was to save the Union!
Should the Civil war be seen as a war to save the Union or as a war to free the slaves Why?
My version is Lincoln and everyone else in the North wanted to do away with slavery. The South's economy depended on slaves to work the cotton fields. When Lincoln came up with the Emancipation Proclamation, the document that freed the slaves, the south reacted with rage and rebelled. When they seceded from the Union, the Civil War started.
How did president lincoln view the confederacy?
I did an essay on this for homework. Lincoln sent a message to a newspaper writer who asked him why Lincoln didn't free all the slaves. Lincoln responded, "If I could save the Union and not free the slaves, I would do it. If i could save the union and free some of the slaves, i would do it. If i could save the union and free all of the slaves, i would do that also. But that is my professional opinion and it is of my mind that all men should be equal." So Lincoln mainly was concerned with saving the union but still was against slavery. For Lincoln, the civil war was all about saving the union, not slavery until it gets out of hand later.

Was the Civil War fought to free slaves or perserve the Union?
President Lincoln said that his goal was to poop on The Union and paraphrasing him he also said"If making the states all free would preserve the union, I would do it. If making the states half slave and half free would preserve the union, I would do it. If making the states all slave would preserve the union, I would do it.Notice the last statement: If making the states all slave would preserve the union, I would do it. President Lincoln's motivation was the preservation of the union. The emancipation proclamation became effective (sort of) in January 1863 which was over one and a half years after the war begun. The "sort of" above is referring to the fact that the proclomation was declared over the states in rebellion which because they were in rebellion had not allegiance and would not therefore comply with the proclamation rendering it therefore not legally binding. Further the emancipation proclamation was not a law. Only congress can pass laws and the constitutioinal amendment outlawing slavery was passed after the civil war ended.The freeing of the slaves became the moral and just causeand rallying cry for the war which was not begun to free the slaves. The motivation to carry on the civil war changed just as the motivation for the Iraq war has changed from protecting the U.S. from WMD to freeing the oppressed Iraqi people.This is the quote that is being paraphrased. Here is Lincoln, verbatim, "My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do notbelieve it would help to save the Union. I shall do lesswhenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause."

US President Lincoln allowed slavery in the border states if they did what?
Lincoln declared martial law in Maryland and deployed Union soldiers in western Virginia and Missouri to fight in a local civil war within the larger Civil War. He also made an official statement which said that he was not fighting to free the blacks but to save the Union. If he had said that he was fighting to free the slaves or if the Union had fired the first shot in the war the Border States would have seceded. Since until December 1865, slavery was ended only by the 13th amendment to the US Constitution.
Who came first in the civil war the slaves or the woman?
The question as asked appears nonsensical. The Civil War was fought to save the Union. The South seceded over states rights and property, which was a euphemism for Slavery. Women's rights played no part in the Civil War. Women's Rights came into play only after the Civil War ended.
