Lincoln decides to change his official stand on slavery because of antislavery sentiment at home and abroad. The correct answer is A.

Abraham Lincoln was widely regarded as the great emancipator because he claimed that he was antislavery: he was against the expansion of slavery.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

Abraham believed slavery was morally wrong but his views regarding racial equality sometimes contradicts some of his stance on slavery.

In the 1850s, some heavyweight politicians in the United States attacked Abraham Lincoln as an abolitionists. Abolitionism was a movement in the United States which advocated for the end of slavery.

At a point, Abraham Lincoln wanted the states to acquire all the slaves to free them.

Also, in the mid-1863, Lincoln supported the idea that African Americans that were serving the military be allowed to remain in the United States

However, Abraham Lincoln's efforts to ensure that the states purchase the entire slaves in the United States and release them were not successful but in January 1863, President Abraham Lincoln exercised his war power granted by the constitution to issue emancipation proclamation.

The emancipation proclamation freed the entire slaves in the confederate areas. About tens of thousands of slaves were freed immediately the emancipation proclamation was issued and by June 1865, the last sets of slaves in Texas also gained their freedom.

I. Introduction

In the 1760s, Benjamin Rush, a native of Philadelphia, recounted a visit to Parliament. Upon seeing the king’s throne in the House of Lords, Rush said he “felt as if he walked on sacred ground” with “emotions that I cannot describe.”1 Throughout the eighteenth century, colonists had developed significant emotional ties with both the British monarchy and the British constitution. The British North American colonists had just helped to win a world war and most, like Rush, had never been more proud to be British. And yet, in a little over a decade, those same colonists would declare their independence and break away from the British Empire. Seen from 1763, nothing would have seemed as improbable as the American Revolution.

The Revolution built institutions and codified the language and ideas that still define Americans’ image of themselves. Moreover, revolutionaries justified their new nation with radical new ideals that changed the course of history and sparked a global “age of revolution.” But the Revolution was as paradoxical as it was unpredictable. A revolution fought in the name of liberty allowed slavery to persist. Resistance to centralized authority tied disparate colonies ever closer together under new governments. The revolution created politicians eager to foster republican selflessness and protect the public good but also encouraged individual self-interest and personal gain. The “founding fathers” instigated and fought a revolution to secure independence from Britain, but they did not fight that revolution to create a “democracy.” To successfully rebel against Britain, however, required more than a few dozen “founding fathers.” Common colonists joined the fight, unleashing popular forces that shaped the Revolution itself, often in ways not welcomed by elite leaders. But once unleashed, these popular forces continued to shape the new nation and indeed the rest of American history.
