What was Lincoln’s initial
objective in fighting the war?
"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the
Union, and is not either to save or to destroy
slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any
slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing
all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by
freeing some and leaving others alone I would also
do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored
race, I do because I believe it helps to save the
Union"

Horace Greeley" (August 22, 1862), p. 388.
