Why did Lincoln not invade South Carolina after the attack on the Sumter?

In the early parts of the Civil War, Lincolns thinking was more toward restoration of the Union than increasing the divide. He maintained this line of thinking throughout the war, but the attack on Fort Sumter changed his mind to accept the prospects of war and the necessity of it to reunify the Union for the greater benefit of the nation.

Why did North Carolina refuse to join the union?
North Carolina did not "refuse to join the Union." The state joined the Union in 1789, becoming the 12th state to accede to the Constitution. The state attempted to leave the Union with a secession vote in 1861 because President Lincoln called upon the state to invade South Carolina, already a member of the Confederacy. The attempt to leave the Union failed as a result of Union military victory.
