Actually it was Buchanan’s position. Lincoln simply said that if it were passed and ratified he would accept it - for the sake of the union. It was the slavocracy that went to war over slavery.

“It was the slavocracy that went to war over slavery.”

If the South was fighting for slavery, who was fighting against slavery?

Because Obviously the Union didn't permit slavery, and that's why they left.
