Lincoln was a strong supporter of what would become the 13th Amendment ending slavery.

Some have suggested that. But we also know for certain that he was a strong supporter of the other 13th amendment perpetuating slavery forever. So strong a supporter was Lincoln that he in fact helped draft the language of it, lobbied intensely for it in Congress, whipped the votes for it in both the House and Senate, and publicly endorsed the thing in his Inaugural Address.

Some have suggested that.

Lincoln's actions confirm it.
