If you're looking for a short answer, Lincoln believed that African Americans were people as much as the white Americans were. He supported their civil liberties, which is proven in his leadership of the Union during the Civil war.

Answer:

They were entitled to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness

Step-by-step explanation:

The fact is that it was Lincoln's struggle to end slavery in the United States of America that put him in history as such a great President, since he was the president responsible for abolishing once and for all the slave labor of all the states of the nation. Lincoln fought for the rights of all humans to be free and happy, including African Americans because that's what he believed in. He viewed black people as people, not products.
