He considered the Crittenden Compromise, but rejected it because it would have allowed some extension of slavery.

After war broke out, he was especially keen not to upset the people of Kentucky, Missouri, Maryland and Delaware, and drive them into the Confederacy.

He allowed slavery to continue in these four states, right up to the end of the war.
