What was Lincoln's attitude about the freeing of the slaves (abolition)?
He believed in social equality to a particular extent. He did not believe as strongly in it as future leaders but at the time, his stand on the issue of the "Emancipation Proclamation", which was issued by Lincoln during the American Civil War, was rare and monumental. However, as he said in a letter in 1962, Lincoln revealed that "if [he] could save The Union without freeing any slave [he] would do it, and if [he] could save it by freeing all of the slaves [he] would do it; and if [he] could do it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that". The mid-19th century quotation exposes Lincoln's main priority. However, it is not to say that Lincoln was not a man of great humility.

What does lincoln mean when he says of the people by the people for the people?
These stirring words have inspired whole nations. But they do not stand up to critical scrutiny - which may be why Lincoln himself did not think much of this speech, hastily put together on the train down to Gettysburg. In particular, 'Government by the people' is quite meaningless. It was really just a big cheer for the freeing of the slaves.
