As for any confusion you may have about Lincoln on the issue of slavery you have only to read Mr. Lincoln's letter to Horace Greeley.

[Non-Sequitur]

"I have here stated my purpose according to my view of official duty; and I intend no modification of my oft-expressed personal wish that all men everywhere could be free."

You're right, this makes Lincoln's position on slavery crystal clear.
