Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Lincoln wanted peace for the Union. He did not want to punish and alienate those who had fought for the south, because he did not want them to rebel again.
Detailed explanation-2: -“The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves only in those states under Confederate control, ” he says. “It didn’t affect slavery in the North.” The reason is that, contrary to popular belief, Lincoln’s primary motivation wasn’t to free the slaves but to win the Civil War and reunite the Republic.
Detailed explanation-3: -“I believe this Government cannot endure, permanently half slave and half free. I do not expect the Union to be dissolved-I do not expect the house to fall-but I do expect it will cease to be divided.”
