Lincoln talks about how "a house divided can never stand", and the Union will never stand with slavery and without it. One or the other is his message. Yet his stance is not for the abolition of slavery. In fact it seems at times he would allow slavery in the Union, in order to bring peace. Expansion in place of abolition. Other times, like the Crittenden Amendments he would prefer to have a stronger Union in place of one with slavery and no slavery.
He seems to be continually contradicting himself.
Am I right?
