Not every person who was against slavery supported President Lincoln's position that a voluntary transfer of African Americans to Panama was a good idea. Some abolitionists did agree with him . Harriet Beecher Stowe, who authored Uncle Tom's Cabin, did support colonization. Others such as scholar Frederick Douglas did not. In Lincoln's 1862 meeting with Black clergymen he complained about objections to colonization by saying that certain Blacks might do very well in the US after the war. With that said, he urged the clergymen to support him because many freed slaves might not do well in the US because of racial bias. Lincoln urged these leaders to support him because the area of Panama he had in mind was rich in natural resources.

No. One attempt was made, and it was likely made by a sniper who missed President Lincoln, with a shot but the bullet did manage to plow right through his top hat he happened to be wearing, at the time. The attempt occurred while President Lincoln was on his horse, riding back to the White House, late at night, and he was alone. The shot was not publicized, and President Lincoln told very few people about it. Whoever fired the shot remains a mystery to this day.

How many assassination attempts were made on President Lincoln?

Likely, 2 other attempts, prior to the third and final successful attempt, by John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865. In August of 1864, a "sniper" shot once at the President, leaving a hole in his hat. Lincoln seemed to take the whole incident as a joke, and could not believe that someone would want to shoot him. Therefore, the incident never went on "record" as an attempt on Lincoln's life. In July of 1863, Mary Todd Lincoln was thrown from her carriage when the bolts of the driver's seat became loose. There was speculation that this actually was an assassination attempt against Abraham Lincoln, as possibly someone had purposely loosened the bolts on the driver's seat. No definitive cause was ever determined.
