There is always the possibility that he would have, yet there are reasons as to why he would not have been to enthusiastic in supporting it too strongly. One of these reasons is that Lincoln supported joining the South and the North as fast as possible to make the Reconstruction after the Civil War more smooth and faster. If he openly supported the rights of the Black people the South would not have supported him as much as they would if he had not done so.

In the constitution, the President is listed as the person mainly in control of foreign affairs and policies. The president is the leader of the executive branch, making the executive branch in the lead of foreign policy alongside the president. The president is also seen as a spokesperson for the country, so it only makes sense to have them lead us in affairs with other countries. It shows that we are unified and strong.
