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's inaugural address, 1861. Guess his views 'evolved' like Obama's ...

1n 1863 Lincoln did not interfere with the institution of slavery in states where it was legal and remained in the Union. Having someone start a war with you would tend to cause ones views to evolve.
