born in a log cabin in kentucky in 1809, raised in poverty, and almost entirely self-educated, abraham lincoln became a successful lawyer in springfield, illinois, where he married mary todd. lincoln came to the presidency with little experience-a few years in the illinois legislature and one term in congress. but he had a remarkable gift for helping people see the war as a test of popular government, "of the people, by the people, and for the people" (gettysburg address).

after his assassination in 1865, lincoln came to be seen as a leader of nearly mythic proportions-a towering, legendary figure who had saved democracy and freed the slaves.

(see: emancipation proclamation)

lincoln personally opposed slavery, but he insisted that the civil war was being fought to preserve the union, not abolish slavery. the emancipation proclamation, issued in january 1863, was lincoln's official declaration of freedom, or emancipation, for slaves in the confederacy. it was meant to satisfy abolitionists who pressured lincoln to make ending slavery a goal of the war. it was also a strategic move to help the north win the war—the south had an advantage, since the confederates could force slaves to help the war effort.

ultimately, the document was more a symbolic than an actual end to slavery, since the union could not force the rebellious southern states to free slaves, and it did not pertain to slaves in border states loyal to the union, such as maryland and kentucky. the thirteenth amendment to the constitution freed the remaining slaves.

journalist ida b. wells-barnett launched a campaign against lynching after a white mob lynched three african americans in 1892 in memphis. she paid a price for her vocal opposition. the newspaper offices where she worked were wrecked and her life was threatened by racists. she moved to new york and then chicago, and continued writing and lecturing about lynching until her death in 1931. with the help of the naacp, the demand for antilynching laws became part of the progressive agenda. although more than 3,000 lynchings had been recorded by the 1920s, southern opposition blocked every anti-lynching bill in congress.
