Lincoln was a Christian white nationalist who ended the Jewish slave trade and intended to send blacks back to Africa.
If that was his intentions, then is an absolute moron that went about it in the worst possible way.

He sought to subdue the States to the power of the Fed and he succeeded. Abolishing slavery was secondary and was mainly emphasized to keep international support from stepping in to help the South. He may have been planning to relinquish some power back to the states after the war and was killed for it.
