US president Lincoln and many others believed that secession was a dangerous act. It would split the US into two separate nations and produce two that were weaker than a unified Union. Lincoln also believed that secession within the South, could also lead to other secessions in the future among different parts of the US. He also believed that as the chief executive, he had the duty to protect Federal property such as forts. Lincoln was a strong unionist and saw only problems if states could secede from the Union.
