Why was Abraham Lincoln's concern more focused on preserving the Union, rather than slavery?
The Union also known as present day America, is my homeland. Apparently Kentucky born-and-bred Abraham Lincoln thought so as well or he would not have attempted to keep it in tact. Founding America was no small ordeal, infact as you probably know it was a very difficult time consuming process which cost many lives. Now, think about America being torn in two and having to try and re-unite it; that is the problem that Abraham Lincoln was trying to avoid. When all things are put into perspective slavery is not such a prominent issue when your country is falling apart.
