i think all of Lincoln's life, there had been a push politically to abolish slavery - from the days of Jefferson and Congress trying to do away with the Articles of Confederation and adopt the Constitution. Lincoln had been taught from a very early age that slavery was bad. By the time he was running for President, that push had renewed itself.
