was formed nearly a month before Lincoln took office. The war began about 5 weeks after he took office, when South Carolina shelled Fort Sumter.

Lincoln’s goal was to preserve the union. He said

If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that.

Like being owned like property by another person.
Like being worked like a mule and fed like a hamster.
Like being raped by the man who owns you.
Like have your skin whipped off your body.
Like working for free forever.
Like marrying and starting a family, only to have your spouse and your children sold to another owner.
And so much more.

Yeah, what was Abe Lincoln thinkin'?
