The slavers had no desire to negotiate - they were all about making belligerent demands. There was no reason why Lincoln should be compelled to negotiate - but he did try anyway. His attempts were rebuffed by the belligerents.

In Lincoln’s second inaugural he talked about Southern peace agents. The South sent many to DC and all were ignored.
