Abraham Lincoln and a New Birth of Freedom the Union and Slavery in the Diplomacy of the Civil War
- Binding: Hardcover
- Publisher: Univ of Nebraska Pr
- Publish date: 12/01/1999
Lincoln realized early in his presidency that the slavery, issue illustrated the inseparability of domestic and foreign affairs. The central paradox of slavery and freedom in a self-professed republic affected both domestic and foreign policy, and failure to resolve the issue on either front threatened to undermine the republic itself. Lincoln had always found slavery morally objectionable, and he soon came to regard its demise as integral not only to the preservation of the Union but also to its betterment. The eradication of slavery also became an essential step toward blocking foreign intervention, for only when the Emancipation Proclamation went into effect did the Lincoln administration finally end Southern hopes for a British intervention.
