What's important in all of it is to realize that every other nation in the world ended slavery without having a war. And our war was a bloody one.
Lincoln had bills presnted to him to end slavery. But he wasn't interested in them. There were other motives at play there.
Remember this: If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. - Lincoln.
The Union was voluntary before Lincoln came along.
