I find no vacellation in his speaches. He was on the record that he thought slavery was wrong and it should be contained where it was and not allowed to expand any further. That he was not in favor of 'equal rights' for blacks and whites put him with 99% of Americans north and south.
They were two different issues. Your attempt to link those issues is no different than what the leftists have attempted to do with our history. You will find Black liberation types (i.e. Commies) who spout the exact same distortions about Lincoln as you, and you are both wrong.
"That he was not in favor of 'equal rights' for blacks and whites put him with 99% of Americans north and south."

So, how does that add up?
How about this?
"I understand a proposed amendment to the Constitution... has passed Congress, to the effect that the federal government shall never interfere with the domestic institutions of the States, including that of persons held to service...holding such a provision to now be implied constitutional law, I have no objection to its being made express and irrevocable."
...................A. Lincoln, 3-1863
In favor of equal rights in some states and not others?
"...was waged 'in order that each of you may have through this free government . . . an open field and a fair chance for your industry, enterprise and intelligence; that you all may have equal privileges in the race of life'..."
A. Lincoln 1864
Contradiction with his support of Corwin? You make that call.
