Secession, yes. The prospect of losing the cotton revenues was alarming indeed - they accounted for more than half the exports of the USA. Also there was simple patriotism, a longing to punish traitors.
But slavery, hmm... That question has become rather political. No doubt quite a few of them were Abolitionists. But if the North had originally leapt into uniform as a wholehearted attack on the terrible Institution, then Britain and France could not have considered helping the Confederates, and Lincoln would not have needed to issue the Emancipation Proclamation. It was the war itself that put an end to slavery, and Sherman declared that the planters had no more chance of getting their slaves back than of reviving their dead grandfathers.

Why Lilcoln loved Nagro Slaves?
First you need to use spell check. What Lincoln was committed to was saving the Union. He did not care one way or the other about freeing slaves. If he could have saved the Union without freeing them then slavery would not have ended when it did. Therefore, back to your question..... how could he love them, but not really care if they were free.
