Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether” You can tell that Lincoln is exhausted mentally, emotionally and financially, due to the fact that he’s sending in soldiers who are dying and the huge financial burden of war. However, it seems that he believes that the war shall not end until the price has been paid in full for the sin of slavery and goes on to say that if it’s God’s plan for it to continue than that’s what will happen until he determines whether or not the debt is/was paid. Slavery was very violent and would ultimately die a very violent death as

    In Donald’s book, he quoted an ex-slave stating that he thought Abe Lincoln was next to the Lord. The most important thing about Lincoln and his era that needs to be reconsidered is abolitionism. Even though Lincoln believed that slavery was a moral wrong, he was not an abolitionist. When Lincoln was elected President, he vowed to contain the institution of slavery, not to remove it. Lincoln only enacted the Emancipation Proclamation out of military desperation.

To illustrate, the social reform of enslavement to freedom, political leadership of leaders creating freedom for slaves, intellectual ideas of freedom for oppressed groups. I will prove my thesis by interpreting and evaluating my sources.

In Lincoln’s final speech he said, “I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races...say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything.” (Lincoln, 1858) Lincoln thought that slavery was immoral but he wasn’t going to try abolish it. The Southerners were still afraid because they now had someone in power that was against the institution of slavery.

  • How Did Abraham Lincoln Deserve To Be The Great Emancipator

    695 Words  | 3 Pages

    President Lincoln stated that: “if I could save the Union without freeing any slave, I would do it,..., and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone, I would do it.”. This quote clearly shows that the freedom of slaves was not his concern and unnecessary if it did not help the Union; as the result, slavery still exists if there is no war. Free slave from bondage should be a Great Emancipator’s primary goal and he will do his best to achieve it no matter what, but president Lincoln’s thought differed from that because all he cares was the Union. Although he had many times admitting himself an anti-slavery but his words and thoughts obviously prove that he is
