Nope. Any man who opposed slavery as a fundamental principle would never say: " I have no objection to its being made express and irrevocable." It is a LIE to claim this isn't support. Do you know what morally upright men do on the question of slavery? "I Oppose this with every fiber of my being! I do not consent! I Object!" Lincoln did not do that. Lincoln therefore supported the Corwin Amendment, and this renders subsequent claims that slavery was the issue, a lie.Hell, Lincoln did not just tacitly support the Corwin Amendment. He orchestrated it. Its right there in Doris Kearns-Goodwin's nauseating hagiography. Its there in several other accounts too. He was the de facto leader of the party after all. He pulled the strings to get it passed. He used his influence to get several states to ratify it. He'd have doubtless exerted all his influence to get enough Northern states to ratify it if only the Southern states would agree to come back and allow themselves to be robbed blind by the Northern states.

Otherwise you're just blowing smoke here.
