During the civil war the president elect was Abraham Lincoln. he was on the union side off course, which is the North side. He wasn't really against slavery but neither was he for it. he was neutral about the subject and always said whatever it was he had to say to please the crowd he was talking to. He preferred preserving the union rather than slavery for the simple reason that he happened to be thinking the right way! he was a smart man and realized that preserving such a country that would succeed in many ways and was going to work out better for the future. And choosing the union over slavery was definitely the right thing to do!! good job and thank you very much Mr. Abraham Lincoln!
