Why was Abraham Lincoln killed?
His
assassin, John Wilkes Booth, was a Southern sympathizer and he hoped that the
death of Lincoln, VP Johnson and Secrertary of State Seward (all of whom were
targeted to die the night Lincoln was killed) would throw the Union government
into such turmoil that the South would be inspired to win the war. But this
would have been wildly improbable after Lee's surrender 5 days earlier.
An assassin named John Wilkes hopped of Abraham Lincoln’s death.
He was on target when Abraham and his wife went to see a little
play.
President
Lincoln was killed because the conspirators, especially John Wilkes Booth, were
angry at how the Civil War was fought and the fact that General Ulysses S.
Grant stopped the prisoner-of-war exchange toward the end of the war. Booth was
an ardent supporter of slavery and thought the South should have been left
alone. Booth hated Lincoln and what he stood for, and was distraught by the
destruction the war wreaked on the South. Before General Robert E. Lee
surrendered, Booth had planned to kidnap Lincoln, hoping he could be exchanged
for Confederate prisoners or even end the conflict.
Abraham Lincoln was killed because conspirators including John
were very mad of how the Civil War started apparently how the people fought. And
John hated Lincoln so badly that he decided to kill him.
And John was planning to also kidnap him.

the North, people were afraid to disagree with his polices because they would
be thrown in jail as a dissident. He was not popular in the North or the
South.
Things began to change when the North started winning the war.
After the Civil War, people looked at him as the person that kept the country
united. When he was assassinated, those that hated him felt guilty and began to
look upon him as a hero. After his death, people reexamined his words and
speeches and found great ideas and humanity.

Why did he release the slaves?
This brief study of Lincoln's writings on slavery contains
examples of Lincoln's views on slavery. It also shows one of his greatest
strengths: his ability to change as it relates to his public stance on
slavery.
In a book it shows one of his strengths his ability to stand up for his
stance on slavery. Abraham
Lincoln is often referred to as "The Great Emancipator" and yet, he did not
publicly call for emancipation throughout his entire life. Lincoln began his
public career by claiming that he was "antislavery" -- against slavery's
expansion, but not calling for immediate emancipation. However, the man who
began as "antislavery" eventually issued the Emancipation Proclamation, which
freed all slaves in those states that were in rebellion. He vigorously
supported the 13th Amendment which abolished slavery throughout the United
States, and, in the last speech of his life, he recommended extending the vote
to African Americans.
We are are deeply indebted to the work of the Abraham Lincoln Association in
collecting Lincoln's writings and publishing them as the Collected
Works of Abraham Lincoln. It was from this
monumental work that these selections were taken. The roman numerals and
numbers at the end of each section refer to the volume and page of the Collected
Works.
The people were deeply determined to work for the Abraham
Lincoln Association and collecting Abraham Lincoln’s writings and making them
into books like publishing them.
