What was lincolns message in the Gettysburg address?
President Lincoln's main message was to raise the morale of the soldiers fighting the civil war and honor the deceased soldiers of the Union. With this message, he urged the soldiers of the Union to keep strong, and to strive for victory. While speaking of the soldiers' bravery, Lincoln was actually speaking to the entire nation, both North and South. His words beckoned the American people to preserve the nation that had been created "four score and seven years ago...". He wanted all of the American people to realize that preserving the Union would be a difficult task, but in honor of the men who fought and died there this should be done.
Why did president Lincoln insist the war was not about slavery or black rights but instead a war to preserve the union?
The Divided States of America?The term "union" implies "joined together', If the south (the Confederate States) had successfully seceded from the union, (and become a separate nation within the US), the United States would not be indivisible. What makes us strong is what our name implies, UNITY. The only way to maintain the union was for all the states to remain united. Otherwise, we would now be living in the "Divided States" with the core of the country owning slaves. A house divided cannot stand (as at its middle it is weak) and niether can The United States of America.One of Lincoln's arguments is that the United States Constitution contains no provision for the secession of a state from the union that the Constitution establishes. However, what the People have established (The Constitution) the People can change. One wonders if the Confederate States could have succeeded if they had tried for a Constitutional amendment establishing a procedure for secession.

Did Abraham Lincoln see the abolition of slavery as the major goal of the Civil War?
No. Lincoln detested slavery, but did nothing about it; his sole goal was to preserve the union. He believed that ANYTHING that would preserve the union and prevent the confederacy from seceding was proper to do. Lincoln himself wrote that if he could preserve the union by freeing all the slaves, he would do so; if he could preserve the union by not freeing ANY slaves he would do so, and that if he could preserve the union by freeing some slaves and not freeing others, he would do THAT. Which is what he did. The Emancipation Proclamation freed only the slaves within the Confederacy; it did not free any slaves within the areas controlled by the North.

Not really, no.Lincoln's sympathies definitely lay in that direction, but he was more concerned with preserving the Union. He once wrote that if he could preserve the Union without freeing a single slave, he would do that, and if he could preserve it by freeing all of them, then he would do that, and if he could preserve it by freeing some and not freeing others, then he would do that.
