Excellent idea. Since they saw eye to eye on so many other things that should be a walk in the park.
You seem to forget that before the south initiated hostilities there wasn't a whole lot of desire to make them stay. It wouldn't have been hard at all to work out division of property, settlement of debt, access to the Mississippi, and any other areas of possible disagreement. Lincoln may not have liked it but he didn't have a lot of political support to force the issue.
