Information & pictures of who really freed the slaves.
He's on our penny and known for freeing slaves but does he really deserve the fame he is known for?
Growing up.
Ever since he was a kid, he was taught to avoid slavery. His paarents were abolishtionist and fled a slave holding state. He was raised to avoid slavery instead of resolve it.
The 13th Amendment
The original proposed 13th Amendment declares, “No Amendment shall be made to the constitution which will authorize or give to congress the power to abolish or interfere within any state, with the domestic institutions thereof; including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said state.” Who proposed this amendment? Lincoln. This is important because this proves that Abraham Lincoln did not originally intend to end slavery. As a matter of fact he planned to never end slavery through the 13th amendment. He planned to use it as an excuse to do nothing about slavery.
