Answer 1

Listen to the Nays!!
#1- NO..lincoln wanted to stay away from War.(Though it was very clear if he was elected President the South would Secede.

#2- NO- He hoped that he would be able to maintain the Status Quo,and preserve the Union. .He wanted the States that would enter the Union in later years to have the right to be Slave or Free. His hope was that eventually slavery would just fade away.(There was no new Slavery shipments allowed in American Ports). It was not until Re-electiion looming that he realized he needed a Galvanizing issue to keep the Union in the War,thus the Emancipation Proclamation.
#3- NO- LIncoln felt that the States Did not have the Right
to Secede in a republic Govt.(Not the republican party.A republic is what the USA is. A strong Central Government overseeing the Smaller less powerful States Governments.)

Answer 2

1. Originally, Lincoln tried to avoid war. He wanted to preserve the Union at all costs. However, he eventually realized that war with the South was inevitable.
2. Lincoln had no desire to end slavery; although he disapproved of the institution of slavery, he made no effort to end it because he wanted to maintain a good relationship with the South (remember, he was all about preserving the Union!)
