Explanation:

While Abraham Lincoln did not support slavery and seeks to end the issue of slavery, one of the many ways regarding Lincoln's views is that "He believed slavery should be ended immediately."

This is evident in the fact that "He believed slavery was politically and morally wrong." In which he once claimed that "If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong, I can not remember when I did not so think, and feel."

He also believed slave owners were too powerful politically, as this is evident in the "Three-fifths compromise" which gave the Southern states additional third more seats in Congress and electoral votes compared to that clause had been ignored or even lower compared to if slaves and free people had been counted equally.

Similarly, He believed slavery hurt the opportunities for free labor. He claimed that "if slavery was enabled to spread, it would block free labor from settling in the new states and maybe entire nation would soon become ever more dominated by slave owners."
