First of all your own post confirms that Lincoln did not free all the slaves. I never denied that the slaves were ultimately freed as a result of actions occuring after his death. Moreover, his effort to sent the freed slaves to Africa or the Haiti also went no where, though he also tried to push that.
I have read this thread and (unlike you) I haven't seen anyone advocating the reinstitution of slavery. Perhaps you have been learning your facts and logic from the Clinton administration.
