Why was the 1864 presidential election one of the most important elections in American history?
Lincoln's opponent, Gen. George McClellan, favored a more lenient approach to the South than the Republicans did; he also was not supportive of Republican plans to abolish slavery through military force. If he had won, probably the South would have received more generous terms when the war ended and the end of slavery would have been delayed. It is possible (though by no means certain) that this would have avoided some of our later problems. For example, the South might have recovered sooner economically and a more carefully thought out approach to emancipation might have prevented the relegation of most of the freed men to share cropping, which was really just another form of slavery. However, the times were so tumultous and violent that it might not have made any difference who won the election. After all, Lincoln was assassinated, and McClellan might have been, too.

What was Lincoln's political involvement with the issue of slavery?
The personal view of Abraham Lincoln was that slavery was wrong. This "personal" view can be said to be his political view as an adult and later as US President. Lincoln believed in the US republic, and as long as the Supreme Court said slavery was legal, then Lincoln's political view would have been formulated in terms of the supreme court of the land.Lincoln also believed in the way the Constitution said it, itself could be changed. In consideration of the temper of the times, he could have supported whether as president, or as private citizen an amendment to abolish slavery. Clearly the process of ending slavery in an orderly fashion would need to be worked out by the parties involved. It needs to be noted that actual political and military events in the US between 1861 and moving forward, would have a huge impact on the entire issue.
