Best Answer

Slavery was most popular during the founding of America in 1776, declining in popularity until 1865 when it was abolished in America.

Abraham Lincoln served from March 1861 until his assassination in April 1865. He successfully led his country through a great constitutional, military and moral crisis - the American Civil War - preserving the Union, while ending slavery.

Slavery existed in some form or another during the century before the founding of the United states in 1776 and continued mostly in the South until the passage of the 13th Amendment in 1865 following the American Civil war.
