Abraham Lincoln: "Do the people of the South really entertain fears that a Republican administration would, directly or indirectly, interfere with their slaves, or with them, about their slaves?

This was not a lie. The quote comes from a letter from Abe Lincoln to
Alexander Stephens. Lincoln had previously stated publicly that he had
no intention of doing anything about slavery where it already exists but
would block the spread of slavery to the terrorities.

Uh...okaaaay. Certainly glad his "Republican administration" didn't interfere with the South. Glad that is settled.

smh

Lincoln assured Stephens, as a friend, that the Lincoln administration
would not interefere with slavery where it already existed, as he made
clear in his first inaugaral speech.

He made no such assurance if they became enemies.
