Abraham Lincoln on slavery
Abraham Lincoln's position on freeing the slaves was one of the central issues in American history. Though Abraham Lincoln was one of the people identified as most responsible for the abolition of slavery, his position evolved over the years, and while he early went on recordas being personally opposed to slavery, he did not initially take the position that it was appropriate that federal laws be passed to abolish the practice.
