Lincoln and the American Civil War?
I’m right now writing a paper for History class over the Civil War. I’ve heard a theory tossed around lately about how Lincoln wanted a war, how he was trying to entice one to happen. Why would Lincoln want to start a war? How would he benefit from it?
Actually, it’s not as outlandish as it seems. A war, for example, might’ve boosted Northern economy more than another tariff would.
I simply do not believe there’s any evidence to support such an assertion.
Lincoln, although personally pretty much against slavery and continued Southern political domination, said it very clearly in his first inaugural address. He would do most anything to keep the Union together. Reinforcing and supplying Federal forts in the South was certainly not a provocation to war, after all.
