So to make the point clear, the principle of "secession" is perfectly acceptable if it happens to support your side. It is completely illegal if it does not.
So Lincoln wasn't opposed to "secession" in general*, just the secession of the Southern states in particular.

* Lincoln supported the right of Texas to secede from Mexico. He said so in his very own words in a speech given in 1848.
No stupid. I was correcting the persons incorrect reading of history. Boy you really do work at being stupid, don’t you?
