Lincoln was firm politically in proposing that slavery is morally wrong but he was not an abolitionist himself.
Explanation:
His views regarding the racial equality were always tending to be controversial and complicated. There had been a situation wherein Lincoln admitted that constitution mandated certain clauses for abolition but he did not know what exactly need to be done to abolish slavery from the current political system.
Lincoln seemed to be working with abolitionists but did not count himself to be totally responsible to abolish slavery. Only with the emancipation he could win over the black’s votes.

Jim Crow Laws enforced segregation between black and white people. The court case "Plessy Vs Ferguson" was trying to please people by enforcing the "separate but equal" law. Basically, they wanted to make the two races separate, but they thought it would be fine as long as both places were the same in quality and quantity.
To sum it up, Jim Crow Laws were to separate the two, but black people were given schools that weren't as good, trashy bathrooms, etc. It was also made to make sure that black people could not go some places on certain days, or at all. The "Plessy vs Ferguson" case was to try to make it better by separating the races, but having both bathrooms the same and both schools the same so none is better than the other.
