Though Abraham Lincoln didn’t originally decide to free the enslaved of the United States of America for altruistic reasons, he eventually came to understand their plight. I suspect, the tragedies in his life allowed him to have an enormous amount of empathy for those who didn’t have agency over their own lives. He is literally one of the greatest presidents this country has ever and will ever see and should always be given his due.
My favorite President,.
It seems all the holds of Hell attacked him all his life , and ended it after he made it.... he's good.
I assume that is what gave Lincoln the grit to lead a country through a civil war and sign the emancipation proclamation.
