Lincoln wanted slavery to spread into the territories. *
True or false

False

Explanation:

The given statement asserts a false claim because the former president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln was a firm opposer of the dissemination of slavery into any more new territories. Although he did not immediately abolish slavery from the states where it already subsisted, he always considered slavery to be unfair and thus, he wanted to restrict it and allow the slavery to die a slow-death.
