Ans. Abraham Lincoln was a huge believer in justice and anti-slavery. He believed in the union of the North and South states of America that was divided due to slavery mostly practised in the Southern states. During his entire term in the office, he tackled the Civil war successfully and managed to abolish slavery. But some supporters of slavery could not fathom his success and John Wilkes Booth assassinated him out of spite and according to him for his love for the South as he feared Lincoln would destroy the South.
