lincoln’s position on slavery was
a.
that is should be made illegal throughout the entire united states.
b.
that it should remain where it existed, but should not be allowed to extend into the new territories.
c.
that new territories should be able to choose whether they wanted to be free or slave.
d.
that slave states should be more heavily taxed than free states.

As much as Lincoln hated slavery, he owned slaves himself, meaning that if he made slavery illegal, he himself would no longer have any slaves.

After clearing that out of the way, we can solve this multiple choice question by using POE, or process of elimination:

A - It is incorrect because Lincoln owned slaves himself.

B - This is correct because this kept America peaceful at the time.

C - Again, Lincoln was against slavery.

D - Lincoln didn't believe in taxing slave states.

this is called police cynicism. i hope this .
