He writted his book "Slavery in the United States" (1836) to express his view.
During the many years that led up to the American Civil War, the United States government generally supported slavery for two reasons: First, the institution of slavery had been accepted as normative (by a significant minority of Americans, perhaps even by a slight majority) at the time that the nation was founded. Second, a significant proportion of citizens and government officials continued to view slavery as acceptable even as the nation grew and changed during the 19th century.
The New Deal welfare state
As a candidate for the senate seat held by Democrat Stephen Douglas, Republican Abraham Lincoln provided a moderate position on the issue of slavery. He did this because earlier in the 1850's the radical Republican view that slavery needed to be abolished at once throughout the nation was just "too radical" for many citizens to bear. Lincoln was opposed to the national sovereignty policy created by Douglas. The result of this policy, which Douglas did not approve, was the violence it created in Kansas. There as per the Act passed by Congress, people would vote as to whether the state would be a free one or a slave state. It must be noted however, that although most Republicans and even Democrats in Illinois did not believe slavery was "Just", Lincoln and Douglas believed at that time that Blacks were not equal to whites.

When the book was published it gave a view of slavery that hasn't been given before and caused people to discuss and think about slavery. This took place just before the start of the civil war and contributed to the discussion about how to abolish slavery.
The Abolitionist view - that it was a sin against humanity. The planters' view - that it was a God-given arrangement of man and master. The average Northerner's view - that it was acceptable in its traditional heartlands, but shouldnt be extended.
