Initially - simply to re-unite the states. Eventually - to end slavery.
The main things Lincoln did was to unite both the Northern and southern states , after the civil war. and to abolish slavery for good in the U.S.A.
Frederick Douglass had many different beliefs one of his most famous ones were "i would unite with anyone to do right and nobody to do wrong" one of the things he meant as wrong is slavery which he believed was mortally wrong.
The two sides that fought in the Civil War were the North (Union) and the South (Confederacy). The North was fighting to unite the country again and to end slavery. While the South was fighting to keep slavery. The South relied heavily on slavery because many people lived on huge plantations that required much labor, so slavery was a cheap way to acquire that amount of labor that was needed. The North obviously won the Civil War. They won in April 9, 1865 after Robert E. Lee surrendered to Ulysses S. Grant.

If it had united the entire nation against slavery, there would have been no Civil War.
