Detailed explanation-1: -Lincoln’s legacy is based on his momentous achievements: he successfully waged a political struggle and civil war that preserved the Union, ended slavery, and created the possibility of civil and social freedom for African-Americans.

On January 1, 1863, he issued the Emancipation Proclamation that declared forever free those slaves within the Confederacy.
