Lincoln initially sought to avoid direct conflict with the Confederacy to preserve the Union and prevent further escalation of violence. His primary goal was to maintain the peace and explore diplomatic solutions, believing that the Southern states would eventually return to the Union without military confrontation. Additionally, he faced significant political and public pressure to avoid war, as many in the North were hesitant to engage in a conflict that could lead to massive casualties. Ultimately, however, after the attack on Fort Sumter, he recognized that military action was necessary to preserve the Union.
