Lincoln always hated slavery, but he also believed it to be legal where it already existed, and he never imagined fighting a war to end it. In 1861, as part of a last-ditch effort to preserve the Union and prevent war, the new president even offered to accept a constitutional amendment that barred Congress from interfering with slavery in the slave states. Lincoln made this key overture in his first inaugural address. 600 10 $a Lincoln, Abraham, $d 1809-1865 $x Political and social views. 610 10 $a United States. $t Constitution. $n 13th Amendment $x History. 650 0 $a Slaves $x History $z United States $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Slavery $x History. $z United States $x History. 941 $a 6 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117014446.0 952 $l PNAX964 $d 20180512010152.0 952 $l SOAX911 $d 20161004020454.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826050334.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20160628010713.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20160506010200.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D8D12554134F11E6AEBAE1B2DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
