Answer:
Although he believed that slavery was wrong, Lincoln felt that African Americans and whites would be able to live together freely.
Explanation:
Abraham Lincoln's position on slavery in the United States is one of the most talked-about aspects of his life. Lincoln often portrayed the moral opposition of slavery in public and in private.
- "By nature, I am against slavery. If slavery is wrong, there is nothing wrong with it," he said in a popular quote now. "I do not remember a time when I did not think so, and I felt it."
- However, the question of what I should do about it and how I can end it, as it was firmly entrenched in the national constitutional framework, in Congress, and in the economy of most of the country, was complex and politically challenging.
- In addition, there was the unanswered question, which Lincoln had to deal with, of what it would be like for the four million slaves when they were freed: how they would support themselves in a society that constantly rejected or despised their very existence.
