That's a little brash, given how much the man did for the country at that time. And yes, he was for ending slavery. One of the factors to the lead up to sucession was Lincolns winning of the election. It was known that Lincoln was going to abolish slavery while he was in office, it wasn't until war was obviously coming did he put that aside and focused on preserving the union.
