Lincoln made tough choices during a terrible time and we are ONE country now

Oh, well that makes it alright then. He walked all over the Constitution and (could you please refresh my memory on this?) for what again? So he could have one little union and not go down in history as the POTUS that lost 1/3 of the nation because constitutionally they had the right to do so?

Not up to par on this question, could you answer this. I heard the South would have needed a Admendment to withdraw from the Union is this what Lincoln wanted or what the Consituition demanded or another?
