Abraham Lincoln was honored because he ended slavery and without him, we would probably have slaves working in factories and have to be doing stuff like hard labor.
Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. That was when slaves were officially free in the United States. It did not actually happen until after the Civil War ended in 1865.
she escaped before dawn and before that she went to Abraham Lincoln to ask if all slavey could be ended .
Southerners had to accept that the blacks were no longer slaves and were in fact free. The American Civil war ended in 1865.
You could make a case for either the Election of Abraham Lincoln as President OR the Emancipation of the slaves; but the South saw them as one in the same. Lincoln actually didn't want to free the slaves; he believed that slavery would eventually end naturally and he believed that it should be ended by containing slavery and then just letting it fall apart on itself. The South believed that Lincoln would free the slaves so as soon as he was elected Southern States began to seceed. The funny thing is that it's because of their secession that Lincoln freed the slaves. He was put into a position where he probably just thought "Well, the wars already started...might as well free them now."
Slavery ended before Lincoln died.
Actually, Slavery never ended while President Lincoln was alive. The Civil War did not end slavery in the United States. Lincoln only freed slaves that were caught during the civil war from southern states. The Northern states which had slaves still were allowed to keep their slaves. Slavery ended the December after Lincolns death with the 13th Amendment.
He ended slavery,so now we don't have slavery so today we aren't slaves and don't have slaves.
No, The French and Indian War had ended 46 years before Abraham Lincoln was born. Lincoln was born in 1809 and the war ended in 1763.

He freed the slaves and ended the Civil war , I believe. He was sadly killed days after the end of the war
because he ended slavery and if it werent for him we would still have slaves and no freedom
By ending the Civil War and freeing the slaves, he ended the dispute over slavery forever.

nothing. Lincoln had no control over the confederacy. the proclamation ended slavery in the north but their were no slaves up there.
We kidnapped them and made them our slaves since 1619 to Jamestown and then Abraham Lincoln made the Emancipation Proclamation that ended our evil ways of slavery. Idiot...
During the US Civil War, slaves in the Confederacy knew about the Lincoln Emancipation Proclamation. They had hopes for an early freedom even before the war ended because as Union troops captured Southern territory, slaves their were freed by the Union army. Later after the war, an amendment, the 13th amendment to the US Constitution abolished slavery.
