Don't be Navie, the states rebelled cause they wanted to keep slaves (despite popular support being against it) and maintane the staus quo. Lincon went to war to keep America together and make it a fairer place.

Was he a perfect man? Heck no, he did suspend Habeus Corpus during the war. Was the Yankies always in the right? Heck no, at time they burned whole cities, massacared civilians, and some of there POW camps were bespectacles of barbaricy. But so did the confederates.

Black and Whites rarerly exist in real life, and almost never apply to war. But Lincon was by no means an evil man.
