What would you have Lincoln do instead?

Outlaw importation of slaves and then buy the remaining domestic slaves from their owners for full market value. Then set them free.

Slave importing had been illegal sense 1808
states began to leave Union before
Lincoln took office.

I don't think the south wanted its slaves bought
and set free.
Certainly not set free in the South.
