Abraham Lincoln was concerned about the outlook of slavery if he was elected US President. He knew that slave holding States would fear his election. He assured slave holders in the South he had no plans for ending slavery where it already existed. In fact he believed that there was no Constitutional basis for outlawing slavery.
Slave holding States simply did not believe him. Lincoln's party, the Republican Party was against slavery.
In a manner of speaking the South wanted to form its own nation due to the fact that Lincoln was elected. Thus the grounds, for the most part, of the US Civil War.
Lincoln believed that he had the duty to protect Federal property. He also wanted the Union to remain intact. The firing upon US Sumter was the beginning of the Civil War.
