=Abraham Lincoln=

Abraham Lincoln was the 16th president of the United States. He was against slavery and the Confederates (the South). He wanted the South to give up and join the Union so the U.S. can be united, but more importantly he wanted the South to stop slavery. The South couldn't do anything themselves, so they wanted to keep slavery and decline Lincoln's offer of peace. Abraham Lincoln than wrote the Emancipation Proclamation permanently freeing slaves. Abraham Lincoln, The Union Army, and the ex-slaves from the South then defeated the Confederate Army.
