Lincoln said and wrote a lot of things about slaves. For example: "If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong." To suggest as you have that Lincoln cared practically zero about them simply because he did not view them as equals is not surprising but inaccurate.
lincoln cared NOTHING about slavery PERIOD, until it became POLITICALLY POPULAR to oppose it.
like wee willie klintoon, he was driven ONLY by "what is popular with the people", rather than by what was/IS MORALLY CORRECT! had it been popular in the north in 1860 to KILL blacks, Jews,Latinos & Indians, lincoln would have LED the "necktie party".
as i've said MANY times, lincoln was ONLY a schemiong, cheap POLITICIAN & nothing more than that.
