If Carton is going to say that Lincoln knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that his actions would provoke war then why is it 'false dilemma' to ask for his evidence?

Because the form of your proposition was, and is, entirely a "false dilemma", that's why.

Either A, which I know isn't forthcoming, or B, I get my way on the point I need to support "it was all about slavery/South 'rebelled'".

Phony as a three-dollar bill.
