What was Lincoln’s stance on slavery at the beginning of the war?

Lincoln's stance before and in the start of the war was primarily to just stop the expansion of slavery. He was a free-soiler, which believed that slavery can stay where it is now, but it cannot expand to newer territories that were created. However, as the war progressed Lincoln became a abolitionist, and passed the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed all slaves in the South. He was able to carry it through by winning the civil war.
