Always having opposed slavery, Abraham Lincoln made it clear early in his campaign for presidency that he hoped to abolish it. His main goal, however, was to keep the nation united in spite of the war.

I think his main goal was to keep the Union whole. Despite the fact that war broke out at the start of his term in office he wanted to keep the United States together. He said so much in the Gettysburg Address and other items.

Abraham Lincoln's main objective when becoming president was preserving the Union. He was also interested in abolishing slavery, which he personally disapproved of.

Lincoln's major goals for the US were to unite the nation after the South seceded and to insure equality in all groups of people.
