  •  Nate, just a little bit more-In theCooperUnion Address(Feb1860)Lincoln refuted southern claims that the acceptance of slavery in the Constitution showed that the framers believed the fed'l gov't had no right to prohibit slavery. In the Address Lincoln showed that a majority of the 39 signers of the Consitution, thru their votes on various slavery-related bills, believed that the fed'l gov't had every right to prohibit slavery in the territories(which was of course the main Republican position.)
