He used the former slaves to go for a war against those states. It was his winning card for this war. Various circumstances, following once again to political issues and differences that started not long after the American Revolution, at last led the United States into Civil War. "Between the years 1800 and 1860, contentions between the North and South developed more compelling, slavery being the focal issue of the clashes, but not only fact alone. An alternate purpose of significant controversy between North and South included assessments paid on merchandise brought into this nation from remote nations.

It also named the states it applied to. But it didn't name the boarder states of Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland and Delaware because those states did not actually declare secession so they didn't free any slaves in those states at the time. They also didn't name Tennessee because it was mostly back to the Union by then. Most slaves where not let go immediately but the Act freed thousands of slaves. Lincoln thought people would think that the Emancipation Proclamation would be only temporary due to the war and be soon forgotten. So what Abraham did is he made the 13Th Amendment. The 13Th Amendment stated that slavery was illegal to all states, and also that it is illegal to make people work against their will to benefit themselves,which is called involuntary servitude. The C.S.A collapsed when generals Robert E.Lee and Joesph E. Johnston surrendered their armies over to the Union.

The separation may have been made easier by Lincoln's estrangement from his father, of whom he spoke little in his mature life. In New Salem, Lincoln tried various occupations and served briefly in the Black Hawk War (1832). This military interlude was uneventful except for the fact that he was elected captain of his volunteer company, a distinction that gave him "much satisfaction." It opened new avenues for his life. Illinois Legislator Lincoln ran unsuccessfully for the Illinois legislature in 1832. Two years later he was elected to the lower house for the first of four successive terms (until 1841) as a Whig.

Shortly after the Battle of Antietam, Lincoln issued a preliminary Emancipation Proclamation, which took effect on January 1, 1863, and freed all of the slaves in the rebellious states but left those in the Border States in bondage ("Facts about Abraham Lincoln."). In 1864, Lincoln faced a tough reelection battle against the Democratic nominee, the former Union General George McClellan, but Union victories in battle (especially William T. Sherman's capture of Atlanta in September) swung many votes the president's way (Johnson). In his second inaugural address, delivered on March 4, 1865, Lincoln addressed the need to reconstruct the South and rebuild the Union: "With malice toward none; with charity for all."

Union victory was near, and Lincoln gave a speech on the White House lawn on April 11, urging his audience to welcome the southern states back into the fold (Lehrman).

It was probably through his impoverished upbringing that he formed such a bond with common folks. Lincoln was able to show the country that an ordinary person, with strong character and integrity, was capable of inspiring others to greatness.

Being able to listen to the opinions and then being able to make a decision is a key ingredient to being a great leader (Wadhwa, 2012). Another great leadership ability that Lincoln possessed was his ability to appoint the right people for the right jobs in his Cabinet. Even though they were some of the greatest minds of his time, some of his Cabinet members were also some of his biggest political adversaries. Through his great leadership, he was able to assemble this group and to pull them together to make it work. Lincoln also had the ability to make a mistake, learn from it and then move on, creating an environment of learning in his administration. Also, when the administration was successful, Lincoln was willing to share the credit with his administration, not taking all the credit for himself. This ability can be a great motivator, since it gives people a sense of accomplishment (Moreton, 2008). Lincoln's ability to control his emotions was another great trait that he possessed. Even though Lincoln was known for treating those he worked with fairly, when he was driven to frustration or anger, he would often channel his emotions by writing what he referred to as "hot letters" to the person he was agitated with, but would keep it after writing it. When Lincoln did lose his temper, he would usually not hold a grudge against the individual (Moreton, 2008). The last leadership >>> Get more content on Helpwriting.net <<<

Lincoln states "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 by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would also do that." Lincoln was strictly for the Union and if he could save the Union and end slavery he would, but his first thoughts were for the Union, and only the Union. He deals with slavery in this manner because he does not want to upset or cause turmoil in the South. Even though the Civil War was going on, he wants it to end and the Union to be whole. The difference between the First Inaugural Speech and the letter to Horace Greeley was to facilitate in the inauguration speech Lincoln did not want to disarray the entire slavery issue with the South, in addition to abide by the Constitution and keep it that way. In the letter Greeley, Lincoln writes of freeing slaves and saving the Union at the same time if he could have. In the letter Lincoln was entirely for saving the Union.

He never had any intention of ending slavery, but was rather looking for his own personal gains, and by appealing to both ideologies; he gained the necessary support to elect his president. From the beginning of his presidency, at Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, it is clear to see he was not the "Great Emancipator," but a man trying to maintain the unity of the nation. Lincoln believed that he had "no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists." Lincoln continues and says, "I believe that I have not lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so" (Majewaki, pg. 70). Lincoln was a humble politician. He in no way wanted to endanger the unity of the nation. But it is important to see that his First Inaugural Address was given in March of 1861, already after the Southern states had succeded from the nation. What Lincoln was trying to accomplish was to return the Southern states to the union. Lincoln even goes as far as notifying the South that certain Legislatures have been passed to ensure their state rights, and the constitutionalism of slavery, "holding such a provision to now be implied constitutional law," and that "(he) has no objection to its being made express and irrevocable."

As Doris Kearns Goodwin so aptly says in her Pulitzer Prize winning book Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln, Lincoln chose deep political rivals such as Salmon P. Chase, William H. Seward, and Edward Bates, for the cabinet positions of Secretary of the Treasury, Secretary of War, and Attorney General, respectively (Goodwin). All of these men ran against Lincoln in the 1860 Republican Party Presidential primary, and berated Lincoln with political and personal attacks. They strongly disagreed with his approaches to many integral issues, yet Lincoln appointed them all due to their political genius and their intense loyalty to the Union. Throughout his administration, Lincoln sought advice on a wide variety of matters, where his cabinet had opinions that dissented from his own. For example, the eventual acquisition of Alaska through the proposal by William H. Seward was only possible under President Johnson because of Lincoln's strong objections to the plan. Lincoln greatly respected the opinions of his cabinet members and chose them because of their intelligent opposition to his views. Lincoln's first challenge was to rebuke the South Carolina Ordinances for Secession; he effectively accomplished this.
