Lincoln and his administration's effort to change a slave's social position from property to person,
That myth has already been debunked. Lincoln didn't particularly care about slavery. It was about preserving the Union.

Well, I don’t think it has been debunked. His administration and especially his party had strong and powerful elements within it that cared very much about changing the slave’s social position from property to person, and believed they were fighting to free the slaves and punish the slaveowners.
