Trigger Event Notes 10th amendment/Lincoln keynote Lincoln's Speeches and Writings Abraham Lincoln’s public justification for war evolved over his years in public office. In fact, the entire meaning of freedom and equality - ideals of the Declaration of Independence – evolved during the war as well. As a senatorial candidate in the 1850s, Lincoln argued for the preservation of the Union and against the expansion of slavery to the west. As the war progressed, he emphasized freedom and the abolition of slavery more. While Lincoln’s most famous act may have been freeing the slaves and so bringing “a new birth of freedom,” some historians argue that this was not his original intention.
