The United States discriminates against blacks seriously. Why can Lincoln join the ranks of American presidents? Because Lincoln represented the interests of the northern government at that time, the United States had serious racial discrimination against blacks, but blacks have always been the main labor force in the United States, but this labor force has always been in the hands of various manor owners in the south, and the industrial development of the northern government also urgently needed labor force. Lincoln advocated the liberation of slaves to help the northern government solve this problem. Finally, the civil war broke out and the northern government won. With their support, Lincoln successfully became the president of the United States.

Lincoln is one of the greatest figures in world history, leading the great struggle to save the Union and end slavery, so he has always been loved by the American people. However, he was able to become the president of the United States and experienced many twists and turns. Lincoln was born into a poor peasant family. In order to make a living, he worked as a ferryman, plantation worker, shop assistant and carpenter on the Ohio River. He is well aware of the painful life of black slaves. Lincoln's education level was not high because he didn't have the conditions to go to school, but he especially loved learning. He became a lawyer through self-study, participated in the state legislature twice, and was finally elected in the second election. After that, he began his political career and came to Washington State, DC.

The debate on slavery in Congress has always been a topic of discussion among American political scholars. In this debate, Lincoln gradually became an opponent of black slavery. He believes that slavery should be finally eliminated, and it should be abolished in Washington State, DC first. This proposal was resolutely opposed by plantation owners in the south, because blacks were their main labor force and they could not give up their own interests. Because the planters in the southern United States were very powerful at that time, Lincoln, who opposed slavery, was forced to withdraw from Congress, so Lincoln had no choice but to continue to be a lawyer. Until 1860, Lincoln became the presidential candidate of * * * and the party, representing the northern government, and was re-elected in June1/. He was elected as the 16 th president of the United States with 2 million votes, none of which was voted by the southern plantation owners.

Lincoln liberated the slaves and got their support and love. At his call, the liberated slaves joined the federal army. The Declaration of Slave Freedom fundamentally disintegrated the fighting capacity of the southern army, and also gave the northern army a powerful source of soldiers, which enabled the northern army to win an absolute victory in the civil war in history and made important contributions to safeguarding national unity and liberating slaves.
