Best Answer

After Abraham Lincoln became president. He wrote the Emancipation Proclamation, stating that "if you are a slave, you should be free". Stating that in the Proclamation, he was really trying to get people to join the union. He told the people in the south that if they were to join they can keep their slaves. If not their slaves will be freed. As you probably know that when Lincoln was running for president he was running because he was trying to end slavery. After being elected he had owned a few slaves himself.
