From - The Real Lincoln
"Lincoln was in favor of Southern slavery because its leaders feared the spectacle of emancipated slaves residing in their own Northern states....There were very few blacks in the North in 1861, and most Northern voters wanted it to remain that way.
Lincoln was opposed to the extension of slavery into the new territories because they wanted to preserve the territories as the exclusive domain of the white race."
