Abraham Lincoln faced the secession crisis that erupted into the Civil War.
President elect Abraham Lincoln viewed secession as being unconstitutional. He was hesitant, however, to use force to forbid states to actually secede.

Lee and Lincoln both felt that secession would damage the country, and allthough there were many contrasting points of view in the nation at the time, they felt that it would be a bad idea to permit any secession.
