1860 Lincoln Elected Abraham Lincoln Elected the 16 th President of the United States in 1860 – Opposed the spread of slavery – Determined to preserve the Union— by force if necessary – Believed the United States was one nation, not a collection of independent states

A House divided cannot not stand " A house divided against itself cannot stand." I believe this government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved -- I do not expect the house to fall -- but I do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all the other.

Emancipation Proclamation Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation – Freed the slaves in the southern states that succeeded from the union ( did not free the slaves in the border states Delaware, Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland) Result made “freeing the slaves” the new focus of the war. Many freed African Americans joined the Union army.

At the dedication of the site, President Abraham Lincoln delivered his famous Gettysburg Address

/american-civil-war/gettysburg- address

Gettysburg Address Fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation—or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated—can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as the final resting-place of those who have given their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow, this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our power to add or to detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here; but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated, here, to the unfinished work that they have thus far so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall, under God, have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
