US President Lincoln regarded the Confederacy as a rebellion and an unconstitutional act by the elven Confederate states.

Lincoln had strong overall support to end the rebellion up to the point where it now seemed only a long costly war would result.

However, the answer is more complex. many Southerners were opposed to secession. Robert E. Lee is a prime example. He agreed to resign his US Army commission to fight for his home state, Virginia. State loyalty was an important factor in why many otherwise no secessionist people in the South were opposed to a "Confederacy".

The North in general.

Also some distinguished Southerners, notably Robert E. Lee, who disapproved of secession, but still felt they should support their home-state when it voted Confederate.

The formation of the Confederate States of America had opposition in the South and in the North. Unionists on both sides saw secession as dangerous and unconstitutional. If eleven states could secede, then other states in the future would have the same right. On both sides, other opposition came from leaders, military leaders and politicians who believed that the Confederacy and the Union would resort to a dangerous and bloody armed conflict. As an aside, Robert E. Lee was opposed to secession. However, when his home state of Virginia joined the Confederacy, his loyalty was with his home state. He resigned his US army commission and joined the Confederate army.
