Despite the insistence of the Southern Secessionists, Abraham Lincoln was not an abolitionist. He abhorred the institution of slavery, but since it was protected by the Constitution of the United States, he had no intention of trying to end it. During his debates with Stephen Douglas, he confessed to not wanting to bring about the equality of the black and white races. If freed, he was in favor of the former slaves being sent to Another Country, and not being allowed to remain in the United States. His emancipation of the slaves (which did not apply to the Border States), was a political move, aimed at undermining the Confederacy, rather than an act of social conscience.
