"I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so."
-Lincoln 3/4/1861

That's correct. Abraham Lincoln had no inclination to interfere with the Southern institution of chattel slavery. http://AbrahamLincoln.life
As USA's President, Abraham Lincoln had no lawful right to interfere with the Southern institution of chattel slavery.
The duty of the USA President is to enforce the law not make new laws. Congress has duty to make laws.
President Lincoln had no authority to interfere with the institution of SLAVERY at all & for this reason offered the Corwin Amendment.
President's duty was to stop the stealing... stop the killing of free America people like, John Brown, Dangerfield Newby, & the prior war (Bleeding Kansas) ... & to stop the riots.
