Freedom Ride

During the Civil War, both sides claimed to be fighting for what they defined as freedom. How did Lincoln define or redefine “American freedom?"

Lincoln meant freedom for everyone, whereas the south believed in freedom for the whites but not the blacks. What sort of mentality can rationaize the statement "I’m not completely free unless I’m free to own slaves".?
