Paper Summary:
This paper discusses how Abraham Lincoln, who abolished slavery once and for all with the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, was not an abolitionist and throughout his political career favored ending slavery by gradual legislative means. It explains that although he was personally against the institution, and supported legislation that prohibited the spread of slavery beyond the boundaries of the states in which it was established, he did not favor abolishing it nationwide.From the Paper:
"Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 in Knob Creek, Kentucky but the family moved to Indiana in 1816. The family lived in forest land on what was then the frontier. Their cabin was remote from village or city life, and Lincoln's mother, Nancy Hanks, died of disease along with two of her children in 1818. Throughout his life, Lincoln suffered from depression and moodiness that many historians believe had their roots in this early loss."More papers on Abraham Lincoln:
