Did Lincoln really represent slave-owners at one point? I came across this in a law review article, but seeing as I regularly throw away the footnotes pages because I'm a terrible student, I couldn't verify it.

In light of some of the 'confusion'
Here is a more comprehensive quote from Lincoln showing how he felt about Blacks and their having right to vote:
I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races - that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of making voters or jurors of Negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And in as much as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race
