Abraham Lincoln was an abolitionist. He was murdered before he could establish that he wasn't a racist. The fact that he was against slavery doesn't speak to whether he would have been amenable to giving former slaves the same "inalienable rights"

that the Whites enjoyed.

Everything I've read about the man suggests that he would have been, though his primary concern, especially toward the end of his life, was preserving the Union and its doubtful he would have pushed for something like universal suffrage as that could have undone the peace he had fought for so long and hard to achieve.

You sure about Lincoln?

"I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and the black races. There is physical difference between the two, which in my judgment will probably forever forbid their living together upon the footing of perfect equality."

“I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races”
