No. If the practice of slavery was in fact evil, then Lincoln had to hold to his view that slavery should not be expanded into the territories. Confederates were defending an institution which absolutely contradicted Jefferson's statement in the Declaration of Indepence that "all men are created equal."
Southerners sidestepped this contradiction by claiming that the war was "about states' rights." But without slavery there would have been no Civil War.
Slavery became the major dividing issue between Northern and Southern states in the U.S. The Missouri Compromise was passed in 1820, involving the regulation of slavery in the Western territories.

While writing the Declaration of Independence, the delegates debated many things, including deep-sea fishing rights and what the national bird should be. However, one of the most significant and long-lasting debates that happened in the Continental Congress was the debate over slavery. In the initial drafts of the Declaration, Jefferson included that all people living in America were free citizens, something that his pro-slavery counterparts in Congress took issue with. The entire southern contingent threatened to withhold their signatures from the document unless the anti-slavery clauses were removed. Eventually, Jefferson allowed the slavery passages to be taken out of the Declaration because he believed that American independence was more important - once America was independent from Britain, the slaves could be freed by the American government. This freeing of the slaves did not happen until the Civil War, long after Jefferson had died. The deep-seated causes of the Civil War can be seen in the debates over slavery during the writing of the Declaration of Independence.

Most southern state's, which had many slaves' wanted slavery to continue. Finally a compromise was reached. Every five slaves , or people " bound to service," would be counted as three. In addition, the delegates agreed to end slave with other countries in 1808.
