This was because Lincoln's of every situation is different. As president elect, he regarded secession as a problem of democracy meanwhile resisting demands from the public. His concern was to insist on the propriety of the constitutional framework and the necessity of the election's presidential results. This strategy was to address the need to minimize discordant parts of the country of which follow the executive government rule.
