Abraham Lincoln-his views on slavery

 Secession, the relationship between the national government, states, and territories, slavery, and abolition was a couple of the factors that influenced the result of the 1860 presidential political race (Kolářová, Martina). Candidates needed to contemplate issues including how to adjust government and state authority, how to run the Western territories, how to manage extremist abolitionists like John Brown, and how to keep the nation joined while its states were isolated over slavery and states' rights.


 In a year when the nation, and its political parties, was torn by a hurricane of mind-boggling and combustible topics, Lincoln's cautious demeanor on a large number of subjects drove him to a modest victory. In 1860, Abraham Lincoln and William Seward, the two opponents of slavery, went after the Republican candidacy. Lincoln advanced a safer party stance expected to hold the Union together. Even though Lincoln is recognized as the president who abolished slavery, all through his campaign, he swore not to restrict slavery in areas where it previously existed yet to disallow its improvement into the Western territories. Lincoln disavowed John Brown as well. Lincoln got the Republican nomination as a result of this safer stance (Gachon, Nicolas). Abraham Lincoln was a political rival of the spread of slavery both when he was chosen for the government. Ethically, he disagreed with the act of slavery completely. At the point when Lincoln drove the country into the Civil War, the institution was at that point in a difficult situation because it was as of now not worthwhile. 


Abraham Lincoln was proudly opposed to the act of slavery. He demonstrates this by saying that he is innately an abolitionist of slavery and that nothing else would be perceived as awful on the off chance that slavery was not considered to be shameless. Instead of endeavoring to completely abolish slavery, which was an extreme endeavor given that the institution was profoundly safeguarded in the US constitution and was essential to the nation's economy, he focused on stopping its spread into the Western regions (Mitcham, Samuel). 


Slavery has diminished in economic significance since there could have been as of now not a need to keep up with bringing in new slaves to satisfy the need for the farming goods that had previously been created using slave work. At that point, slavery as a system was becoming obsolete. Abraham Lincoln's decision to lead the country into civil war was not just propelled by the issue of slavery, as he was not an abolitionist (David, Alex). 


Despite making the Emancipation Proclamation, he had previously announced that he coming up short on a lawful position to interfere with slavery in places where it previously existed. He simply pursued the politically feasible goal of stopping the expansion of slavery into the leftover unreached territories. Despite its many negative repercussions, the civil war also created some positive outcomes. The principal accomplishment was that it added to the abolition of slavery. The US was constrained by the civil war to make skilled military leadership. During this time, nationalism also started to beat state rights, fostering national cohesion.
