Lincoln did not end slavery in America. Remember, well before Lincoln was ever born slavery was already illegal in many states, especially in New England. Also, the Constitution had already ended the slave trade by 1808. The famed Emancipation Proclamation, which Lincoln did issue, only declared slaves in rebel-held territory free, which was, in a practical sense, ineffectual. It also did not apply to Confederate territory already captured by Union forces.
