Lincoln didn't free slaves.
Technically that is true, but Lincoln did sign the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, which stated “all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.”
It actually took the 2nd 13th amendment to the constitution to free the slaves.
