Decisive Years: Civil War, 1862 - 1863 Lincoln’s reply to Greeley, August, 1862: As to the policy I "seem to be pursuing" as you say, I have not meant to leave any one in doubt. I would save the Union . . . My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. . . . . I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.
