Abraham Lincoln wasn't against slavery, nor did he support it.
He was interested in keeping the country together.
The Emancipation Proclamation was his way of getting back at the South~
Abraham is an okay president, but is often romanticized~
He was horribly conflicted about men owning men and politically supported many abolitionists even when he was told it would ruin all his own political aspirations. He was a complicated man but one thing for sure was HE WAS ALWAYS AGAINST SLAVERY!!!
