Repeated posts asking for help won't get it any faster.
The correct answer is D. Abraham Lincoln spoke out in favor of abolishing slavery wherever it currently existed in the U.S.
To arrive at this answer, we can eliminate options A, B, and C based on historical facts. Abraham Lincoln indeed won the presidential election of 1860, as stated in option A. However, he did travel to Washington to become president. Option B suggests that he lost the election, but this is incorrect. Lastly, option C states that he received the most votes despite not appearing on most southern ballots. In reality, while Lincoln did not appear on the ballot in several southern states, he did not receive the most votes overall.
By process of elimination, we are left with option D, which correctly states that Abraham Lincoln spoke out in favor of abolishing slavery wherever it currently existed in the U.S.
