Begin Essay here: Please follow model below

The American Civil war is the bloodiest conflict that was fought on American soil. Abraham
Lincoln the current president of the time, had one of the biggest decisions to make as president.
He had either the option of accepting that the South was its own nation or use all his military
power to get the South to come back to the Union. He decided to fight the rebels and bring them
back. But another decision that he had to make was if he wanted to abolish slavery and why.
Lincolns strongest reason to end slavery, since it was against his moral beliefs, it would mean
the end of the war and the start of a new era in American history.

At first, Lincoln had believed that slavery had to end because of all the economic difference it
brought, between the north and the south. Although, as Lincoln had continued to move on, he
started to believe that slavery was wrong because it was morally wrong to enslave a group of
innocent people that were brought here without their consent. For example, during the movie,
Lincoln had the opportunity to end the war, right then and there. But he decided to deny it.
Lincoln would not have done that if he had not believed that slavery was morally wrong. He
could have ended the war right then and there, stopped the war for going for four more months,
and prevented his own death. But we might have lived in an even more, oppressive future where
people of color or persecuted even more. Maybe Lincoln saw what our future could have
possibly looked like if he were to end the war then. When speaking with A.G Hodes, Lincoln
saidI am naturally anti-slavery. If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong. (Doc. F) Lincoln
believes that naturally, someone that believes slavery is right and that there is no harm to it is
someone that has no idea of what is a goof and how it works. Generally Lincoln is referencing
slave owners when he says this. By putting an end to slavery he would stop people like slave
owners from abusing and oppressing people that never asked to be brought to the United
States. In the beginning of Lincolns campaign, he claimed to not change how slavery is run in
the South. (Doc C.) But as time started to pass he started to notice that maybe its not a good
idea to shush about slavery. The only time slavery was mentioned in the constitution was during
the 3/5ths compromise. As time went by, Lincoln started to notice how slavery was morally
ripping the country apart. Lincolns morally beliefs justified this change of heart of a nation.

In addition, Lincolns moral reasons and his driving force to end slavery was because of
moral reasons is that the end of slavery signified the start of a new era. The end of slavery
would bring much more important things into light. Such as civil and womens rights. In the
movie, the senators were worried that by ending slavery, soon rights for colored people and
women would start to appear.(Movie) Lincoln must have known that by passing the 13th
amendment, other types of oppressed people would start to get more and more rights until they
are equal to the white man. As we see in history, this is true, slowly women gained certain rights
then later colored people were given civil rights. In 1863, Lincoln passed the Emancipation
Proclamation. (Doc. A)Though this document was not monumental in freeing slaves around the
world, it did have a bigger effect on the future on the United States. The Emancipation
Proclamation meant that even if states were not part of the united states, yet. There would be no
loopholes for slaveowners. They could not move to the territories and justify that slavery is legal.
The prevention of slavery everywhere would mean that the country would be more productive,
meaning that both the Southern and Northern economies would be very identical as well.
Though African Americans werent given the full extent of their rights, they were living in much
better condition now. Lincoln believing that slavery is morally wrong helped fuel a new American
era that would end the oppression of certain peoples.

The final reason of why I argue that Lincolns driving cause to end slavery was from the moral
perspective was that the end of slavery would mean the end of the civil war and other conflicts
that would arise. In the film, we see Lincolns son Robert be upset at his parents not letting him
join the war. He argues that every man over the age of 18 is fighting out on the front. From this, I
can tell two things. That many men died during the war. Many mothers and children suffered
because of the loss of their fathers or that they were gone for a good chunk of time. Lincoln
being the morally correct person that he wanted these people to not die or separated from their
families for an ice age. The end of the civil war would pave the way for a more productive and
united U.S. Many democrats voted on the 13th amendment. (movie). Even though these men
were against equal rights, they all had the moral beliefs that something had to be done to end
this bloodshed. The civil war is the bloodiest conflict fought on American soil, to give you a
perspective of how bloody it was. Though these Democrats and possibly even Lincoln had no
intention of giving colored people the right to vote or other freedoms, they understood that for
the war to end, for families to reunite, that the slaves had to be freed. Even if Lincoln had
believed that colored people were not equal to white people, he would have ended slavery to
stop many men from dying and families being separated.

Though all of this reason are compelling ones that prove what lincoln was thinking when he said
that he wanted slavery to abolished and why, but the legal perspective had much to do with this
whole process. To begin with, this whole idea of laws and other things are passed through legal
documents. Without the legal document of the 13th amendment, our future would be drastically
different to how it looks like now. This legal document also paved the way or many more legal
documents such as the 19th amendment. These legal documents also stopped people taking
any loopholes and still keep slaves. Having everything solved by a legal document would also
stop conflicts arising later on. Lincolns second driving force to end slavery was from the legal
perspective.

Lincoln was faced with the hard decisions face by being president. On top of the stress of having
a civil war going on as well. Lincolns driving cause to end slavery was because of moral
purposes. This is proved because of how it was against his moral intentions, it would start a new
era, and end the war. But where Lincolns intentions always this pure?
