Is it true that Abraham Lincoln freed all enslaved people in the United States?
Partly. One source credits Lincoln with efforts to abolish slavery, while others indicate the war's stated aim was preserving the Union and that abolition came through the Thirteenth Amendment rather than Lincoln freeing all enslaved people. The retrieved items only partially address the claim's sweeping 'all enslaved people' assertion.
