Unit 5 – Civil War and Reconstruction, 1848–1877
Topic 5.7
If Lincoln had decided to protect slave property rights as president, what would likely happen?
There would be no Civil War.
Northern States would start to adopt slavery practices widely.
Slavery system could end earlier than it did in real history due to peaceful negotiations within Union framework without resorting to warfare like Civil War in reality for achieving abolitionist goals eventually..
It might have delayed Southern secession but fail to solve underlying issues about slavery's future expansion.
