Lincoln wasn’t “pushing a constitutional amendment to protect slavery” - the US Congress did.

Actual history begs to differ with you.

The Ghost amendment that haunt's Lincoln's legacy.

You keep posting that as though it somehow buttresses your assertion - it does not. The closest it comes is here: “In his first inaugural address Lincoln declared that he had “no objection” to the Corwin Amendment, nor that it be made forever unamendable.”

Having no objection is not the same as “pushing a constitutional amendment”. Not today, not in 1861.
