Did Abraham Lincoln fight for slavery?

One View:Lincoln was against slavery. While it was true that he was not willing to go to war over slavery itself, that does not mean he supported slavery. Read his speeches that date back to the early 1850's in which he condemns slavery.

Another View:

Although, some may believe that he was completely for slavery, although he was against racial segregation, and did not believe in African-American slaves... But most likely, he was against it all together.

Hell no, mother*^#@^(:)
