His public support of the Fugitive Slave Law moved the implacable Boston abolitionist, Wendell Phillips, to label him "the Slave Hound of Illinois."3 While the common goal of abolitionists was to put an end to slavery everywhere, Lincoln ran for president in 1860 on a platform that promised to leave slavery undisturbed in the states where it already existed.
@anmpir Which guaranteed that it would die. He believed that the Constitution protected it where it existed, but said to the South: "We believe that if anything is wrong, slavery is and should not be expanded. You believe slavery is right, and should be expanded. There's the rub."
@anmpir Not just "something" - in particular, slavery in the US in the mid 1800s. It was an economic fact that if it could not expand into the colonies, it would die out because: a) they didn't know much about land rotation and the land was becoming less productive, needing less slaves (in the old states, Va., Md., there was less slavery than thought); b) it was not as efficient as incentivized, hired labor (as shown by the productivity statistics). The South was terrified of this.
