What he should have done was not to abolish it, but implement a bill of slave rights similar to animal rights that dogs and cats enjoy today.

It's a myth that he abolished it. What he did was actually extend slavery so that anybody could enslave anybody they want, regardless of race. It was the only fair thing to do, and is part of why USA is the freeest country there is today.
