The election of abraham lincoln set off southern secession. what were two viewpoints the president held on slavery? states that already had slavery could remain so. he wanted to end the missouri compromise. he did not want to see slavery grow any more. all slaves in every location should be set free.

The answers are 
-States that already had slavery could remain so
-He did not want to see slavery grow any more.

Although he later would push for the Emancipation Proclamation and full abolition of slavery, Abraham Lincoln ran as a moderate voice in the Republican Party. He followed the official party line at the time of anti-expansion: no new slave states. This meant that states that had slavery could remain so, and he did not want to see slavery grow any further.
