On the slavery issue, Lincoln and most Northerners, like most Southerners, thought emancipation should be gradual, just as it had been in the North. However, neither Lincoln nor most Northern whites had very sympathetic attitudes toward blacks. Moreover, Northerners actually feared that emancipated Southern slaves might emigrate to the North. Only a tiny minority of radical abolitionists wanted an immediate end to slavery, which disregarded the economic consequences to the South and the freed slaves.
