RE: Corwin Amendment
I do not know about Lincoln's exact role, but I don't find it surprising that he would support it. The 1860 Republican platform stated that there should be no expansion of slavery into the territories; it did not say that states where slavery was already legal should be required to change their laws on slavery. This is the position on slavery that Lincoln ran on.
