States do not have the legal ability to secede from the United States, as established by the Supreme Court case Texas v. White (1869), which ruled that the Union is perpetual and that states cannot unilaterally leave it. Abraham Lincoln firmly opposed secession, viewing it as a threat to the nation's unity and democracy. He believed that preserving the Union was paramount and that secession was both unconstitutional and a rebellion against the federal government. Lincoln's stance was evident during the Civil War, where he fought to maintain the integrity of the United States.
