After some time this was obviously not to become a reality and he was forced to take a more aggressive action. This action became concrete with the Emancipation Proclamation.

Family Ties in Harriet Jacob's 'Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl'
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page paper discussing the violation of family ties as an anti-slavery argument. The very nature of the system of slavery was such that families rarely were able to stay together. Most slave owners viewed their slaves as "stock," to be bred in pairs that held promise of producing healthy, strong workers. Linda Brent was unable to determine her own path in any aspect of her life aside from one strategic alliance with a white man. If the family is indeed the basis of the successful society, then that embracing slavery is doomed to failure. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
