Well, Abraham Lincoln was a Federalist-type person- a supporter in a strong central government. During his presidential career, he put into action many economical acts, showing that politics did have its say in economics.

One of the main reasons the Civil War existed was due to the institution of slavery. Though he did pass the Emancipation Proclomation in 1863, he was as racist as any other man and or woman during that time period. He did what was best for the country, keep it in order to keep it unified. If that meant putting an end to slavery, he would do it.
