If Lincoln had lived he would have deported all Back people in America. He was not against slavery; he just didn't want it to spread to the new western territories, which is why he came up with the homestead program.
Slavery continued in a couple of Northern States after the end of the Civil War and for years after that in California.
BTW, slavery is still legal in America but some States have outlawed it.
Initially, the Civil War was fought because the South believed they had a right to secede while the North said they did not. As the war progressed, President Lincoln started to support the idea to abolish slavery.
