Answer 1

Answer:  While Lincoln did think that Slavery was morally wrong, the reason why he didn't do anything to support it was because it was in the Constitution and he didn't know what to do about Slavery.

Here's some more information: Lincoln did argue that the phrase "All men are created equal" also meant black people, but he never thought that they should have the same social and political rights.
