~ “That all mankind should be free”
Lincoln didn’t want the border states to get mad at the union and secessed out of the union. So he didn’t abolish slavery in those states.
Now, Lincoln was not necessarily an abolitionist, but he did not like slavery as a thought.

He personally thought that slavery would die a “natural death” and would just go away over time.
