What were Lincoln and the Confederacy beliefs?

The Confederate States of America believed in several things that differed from the views of the North. Much of the South believed in the moral integrity of slavery. They believed that African-Americans were inferior to them. They were very protective of their “right” to own slaves.

Lincoln believed that American democracy meant equal rights and equality of opportunity. But he drew a line between basic natural rights such as freedom from slavery and political and civil rights like voting. He believed it was up to the states to decide who should exercise these rights.

one of the major compromises in the constitutional convention was between the small states and big states. the small states wanted each state to have the same number of representatives in congress. the big states wanted representation based on population.
