1.  Was the main goal of the newly elected President Lincoln to end slavery, or save the Union?

: Lincoln’s main goal was preserving the Union, so much so that he would even actively preserve the institution of slavery as a means of preserving the Union.  Still, Lincoln disliked slavery and ultimately issued the Emancipation Proclamation which freed all slaves in “rebellious” or Confederate states.  (Addison DM)

:The main goal was to keep the Union together, ending, or keeping slavery was a direct function of that.  I disagree with Lincoln, he tried to appease both sides ....  In the end you have to do the right thing.  However sometimes the right thing and the hard thing are the same thing.  (Jonathan L.)

:This cartoon portrays President Lincoln tormented by nightmares of defeat in the election of 1864. It was probably made by someone who was in support of McClellan, who is shown in uniform, ascending the steps to the White House, while Lincoln is running after being kicked out by Columbia. The cap and cloak allude to an incident in 1861 before Lincoln's first inauguration. On being informed that an attempt would be made to assassinate him on his way to Washington, Lincoln took a night train and disguised himself. The cartoon mocks his fear, giving the view that Lincoln was not good for presidency and that McClellan would win. (Natalie D.)
