I kind of see it as Lincoln was almost a modern day centrist democrat. Basically there was an abolition plan… that was going to take a very long time. IE rather than going with abolishing slavery, the plan was that no new states would become slave states, and overtime the non slave country would have the votes to abolish slavery. Kind of reminds me a lot of say healthcare goes on today.
and just like modern day republicans… the confederate states made it clear they’d rather burn down the country than accept a slow change from the status quo.
