Original Note:
Lincoln did not run in 1860 as an abolitionist. His consistent position on slavery was that "we must not interfere with the institution of slavery in the states where it exists, because the constitution forbids it" (Cincinnati, 9/17/1859). https://www.nps.gov/liho/learn/historyculture/slavery.htm https://www.npr.org/2010/10/11/130489804/lincolns-evolving-thoughts-on-slavery-and-freedom https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/23/books/review/lincoln-and-the-abolitionists-fred-kaplan.html
