    On Popular Sovereignty While he opposed slavery personally, Lincoln also thought it his duty, and the duty of all Americans, to combat not only the practice itself, but also any notion that might provoke its prosperity. While defenders of popular sovereignty claimed it maintained a neutral approach to slavery, it created other dangers for the nation both related to the issue of human rights and beyond. As a northern statesman, Lincoln believed that the principle of popular sovereignty directly assaults the country’s foundations on basic ethical beliefs and system of justice.
