Passage 1

abraham lincoln

abraham lincoln became the 16th president of the united states when he took office in 1861. at the beginning of the civil war, lincoln’s main goal was to bring the southern states back to the union. later, he became more determined to end slavery.
at first, lincoln did not allow african americans to join the union army. lincoln worried that the border states, or the slave states that remained loyal to the union, would leave the union if he allowed this. in january of 1863, lincoln issued the emancipation proclamation, an order to free all of the slaves in the u. s. this order also allowed african americans to serve in the union army.
abraham lincoln wanted to bring states back into the union with as little disagreement as possible. in 1863, lincoln proposed a plan that would easily allow states to rejoin to the union. many people opposed this plan because they strongly believed that the southern states should be punished for separating from the union. congress did not pass this plan. in 1864, lincoln was re-elected as president. he was shot soon after he began his second term in april of 1865.
