Based on historical records, in 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected president on a Republican platform that advocated all of the following EXCEPT "the abolition of slavery throughout the United States."

This is because during the Presidential campaign period, Abraham Lincoln supported the issue of abolition of slavery; however, he did not promise to abolish slavery throughout the entire United States.

This is because, at the time, the Southern part of the United States would not have tolerated the stance or voted for him at all.

Abraham Lincoln became 16th President of the United States in 1861 under the Republican party.

He was a member of the National Union Party (temporary name for the Republican party) in 1864.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the correct answer is option E. "the abolition of slavery throughout the United States."
