I mean if he was such a great man of peace, he could have resigned, saying i will do whatever is necessity to end this problem. he knew if he tried to resupply and send additional troops to Fort Sumter, that the South would fire on them, then the slave issue, i don't understand, how can you fight a war for almost 2 years, and then decide why your fighting it, i think Lincoln knew that England and France were close to coming into the war on the side o f the South and knew he could not win the war, if that happened, so, the only thing he could do to stop them from entering the war , was to ban slavery, knowing that neither country would enter the war under such circumstances. give me your thoughts on this
