Answer:

Both Lincoln and Lee believe secession goes against the Constitution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Even though they both agreed on the unconstitutionality of secession, General Robert E. Lee was principally faithful to the South, and claimed that if this region seceded, he would accompany it too.

On the other hand, Abraham Lincoln was completely opposed to the idea of secession, stating that states did not have the right to leave the Union, since he considered it unlawful, anarchic, physically impossible, a promotor of rivalry between Americans and destructive for democracy.
