Abraham Lincoln believed that the most prominent slave holding Founding Father generation held the same view as he did with regards to slavery. Lincoln's position was that they as he did, allowed the Federal government to prevent the spread of slavery to the western territories. And that they supported the Northwest Ordinance. With that said, Lincoln believed he was in step with both the founders and the US Constitution. Of course at the time the Supreme Court disagreed with that idea.
