What were Lincolns views on slavery expressed in his Second Inaugural Address?

Answer 1

Even though Lincoln did not approve of slavery throughout his life, he realized it would be improbable that blacks and whites could live with equality, since they had to deal with too many prejudices. During the Lincoln-Douglas debate at Charleston on September 18, 1858, Lincoln stated:

"I will say then that I am not, nor have I ever been in the favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races . . . There must be a position of superior and inferior, and I... am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race ... I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position that the negroe should be deprived everything."

It must be remembered also that an abolitionist could not have been elected president.
