Abraham Lincoln saw keeping the United States intact as his most important mission. He was personally against slavery, however, he recognized that under cases decided by the US Supreme Court, the institution of slavery was legal. He also recognized that slavery did not exist as a "Southern" creation. Since before the US was a nation, slavery existed. It was clear to him that slavery could have been abolished long ago. And, that the North was just as guilty as anyone else for the institution of slavery.

He did this in his duty to protect the Constitutional rights of all "citizens". He understood that under the Constitution, slaves were not considered "citizens".
