Lincoln viewed secession as impossible.

'Any people whatsoever have the right to abolish the existing government, and form a new one that suits them better. This is a most valuable, a most sacred right.'

-Lincoln 1848

As usual twisting out of context. Lincoln was referring to the Constitutional provision for revising the Government.
