northeren and southern states against each other
John Calhoun
The northern states such as Pennsylvania, wisconsin, washinton,were against slavery while the southern states were for it.
Lincoln reasoned that the union created by the Constitution must remain intact. While the southern states claimed they had the right to secede, and that might have been true, the Constitution did not allow them to join any league or confederacy besides the United States of America. Thus, he argued, the existence of a Confederacy was in direct violation of the US Constitution.
