To those who think the civil war was over slavery, there were slaves in the united states nearly a hundred years before the civil war (and long before the US was a country on American land), yet no president lifted a finger to help them (many of the earliest presidents were slaveowners, of course they weren't lifting fingers to help). Lincoln issued the emancipation of slaves entirely for political/PR reasons, to gain public support for his cause (reunification of the country) from as many people as he could in the North and South. The North wanted to regain control of resources south of the Mason Dixon, which proved problematic with the Southern States seceded. A lot led up to the Civil War.
The American Civil War wasn't fought over slaves, as good as it would sound to hear about the North saving the slaves from Southern tyranny. A kid's history book nearly makes Lincoln a saint.
