Let us also not forget that Lincoln supported an amendment to the Constitution to make slavery a permanent fixture in the states where it existed, and this would have ironically been the 13th Amendment had it happened.
Lincoln didn't "support" that 13th amendment, he merely stated he couldn't stop it if it was passed, as the President has no constitutional authority to do anything with amendments. His 1865 amendment he gave lots of political support to, something he didn't do with the 1860 amendment.
Funny you don't want to talk about Kansas? The South trying to undemocratically attach a slave state?
