Do you think Lincoln possessed the power to free the slaves in the seceded states? Why or why not?

History

Lincoln had only one reason to fight: to save the Union. In time, however, there was another reason to fight: to free the black people held as slaves in the South.

Today, Kay Gallant and Harry Monroe continue the story of how President Lincoln dealt with this issue.

VOICE ONE:

Lincoln had tried to keep the issue of slavery out of the war. He feared it would weaken the northern war effort. Many men throughout the North would fight to save the Union. They would not fight to free the slaves.

Lincoln also needed the support of the four slave states that had not left the Union: Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland and Missouri. He could not be sure of their support if he declared that the purpose of the war was to free the slaves.

Why does grundy think that acquiring canada will strengthen the american union?
Rom4ik [11]

The correct answer is that Felix Grundy thought to drive the British from the continent and in that way to lessen the anger of the Native Americans whose tomahawks they all feared. When the nation would lose the valuable trade with the Canadians, it would lose the stability in general, and they will eventually go by themselves.
