What else was he supposed to do when you where trying to destroy the Union.
I did run across one factual error I'm sure you will want to correct.
created three new states (Kansas, Nevada, and West Virginia) without the formal consent of the citizens of those states, an act that Lincolns own attorney general thought was unconstitutional
According to the KS state website, it was admitted to the Union on January 29, 1861. Since Abe was at the time a private citizen, although President-elect, I fail to see how you can blame him personally for any possible irregularities in this admission. Since KS was for decades perhaps the most Republican state in the nation, they didn't seem to object too much.
