- the worry that the government would abolish slavery. The major event was President Lincolns election. The Southern States believed that once Lincoln was in office, he would end slavery for good.
Not well known about Lincoln. He ran for president for the simple reason that he had nothing else to do, but did not want to do nothing with the rest of his life. He was going through a midlife crisis. So he did not run for the office on any political standing other than to see if he could. Once in office then he started to look at the things he could fix and change.
Abraham Lincoln's parents joined the Little Pigeon Baptist Church in 1823. We do not know if Abe himself grew up in any churches, however, as this is the only record of his parents membership currently known.
he wanted to stop slavery
Abraham Lincoln had always had a distaste for slavery. It is assumed that this is due in part to his strong religious convictions.
Because President Abraham Lincoln outlawed it when he became president!
because it was best for our country , no one would want to be a slave
he was not with slavery he was with the North or with Abraham Lincoln
Abraham couldn't own any slaves because he didn't want any and he wanted to stop slavery.
This famous man helped stop slavery and made southern states join the north the side that didn't want slavery.
Abraham Lincoln changed millions of people's lives while president. The most obvious being that he was a major reason African Americans were freed from slavery due to his emancipation proclamation enacted during the American Civil War.
Abraham Lincoln wanted to become president to prevent the halt the spread of slavery and to stop the Union from crumbling. Believing that he knew exactly what was the best for the people, he wanted to champion his ideals especially during the Civil War.
In 1860 Abraham Lincoln was elected as the 16th president of the United States. Lincoln did not agree with slavery and wanted to put a stop to it. The south wanted slavery and did not want it to stop, that means they did not want Abraham to be elected. After the election was official, 11 states seced from the union. They created the Confederacy of America, and elected Jefferson Davis as their president. Not long after they seceded the one and only Civil War started.
The biggest reason is that Abraham Lincoln was against slavery, and the confederate states were for it.
it was creating really bad arguments and he didn't want people to get hurt... :I
