Lincoln was no abolishionist.

Right, so when South Carolina, in it's "Declaration of Causes" said:

"A geographical line has been drawn across the Union, and all the states north of that line have united in the election of a man to the high office of President of the United States, whose opinions and purposes are hostile to slavery. He is to be entrusted with the administration of the common government, because he has declared that that "government cannot endure permanently half slave, half free," and that the public mind must rest in the belief that slavery is in the course of ultimate extinction."
they didn't know what they were talking about, huh?

Of course they did. The record is clear that Lincoln was no abolisionist. Rather he was an insane, power-hungry, political opportunist, in the same mold as B. Hussein Obama.
