Lincoln's view on African Americans was:

(A) They were entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Lincoln thought colonization could resolve the issue of slavery. For much of his career, Lincoln believed that colonization, the idea that a majority of the African-American population should leave the United States and settle in Africa or Central America, was the best way to confront the problem of slavery.

Lincoln did believe that slavery was morally wrong, but there was one big problem: It was sanctioned by the highest law in the land, the Constitution. The nation's founding fathers, who also struggled with how to address slavery, did not explicitly write the word "slavery" in the Constitution, but they did include key clauses protecting the institution, including a fugitive slave clause and the three-fifths clause, which allowed Southern states to count slaves for the purposes of representation in the federal government.
