The North had tried to bar slavery from all new States, The South, resenting this and fearing lest she some day be robbed of her negroes, left the Union. T! Civil War was waged to force the South back into the Union, not to set the slaves free, Abtaham Lincoln hated slavery and he was resolved to abolish it. Yet for various reasons he could not at @nce carry out his plans. For one thing, many Northerners still believed in slavery; for another, Congress had formally declared itself helpless to free the slaves. For another, the Confederacy was winning a brilliant serics of victories; and to command the South to free its slaves at that time would havo been as ineffective as to forbid the wind to blow. So, howled at by the abolitionists and hated by the slave owners, Linos'r: bided his tine. Ie knew premature action might ruin everything. Wher two of his generals, Fremont and Hunter, declared the slaves free tn the sections of the South where they themselves were tn control, Lincoln counter- manded their orders, And again the public on both sides howled against him.
