The U.S. government, particularly under President Abraham Lincoln, firmly opposed secession during the Civil War era. Lincoln believed that the Union was perpetual and that states did not have the right to unilaterally withdraw from it. His administration viewed secession as both illegal and a rebellion against federal authority, leading to military action against the Confederate states to preserve the Union.
