Lincoln sucked and divided the nation. Freeing the slaves was good, but he usurped the power of the Presidency and a lot of the hatred coming from the South was due to politics and unfair representation, combined with heavy tariffs on Southern ports and tax breaks for Northern states.
Do you think Lincoln could have kept the US together if he hadn't usurped the power he did?

The answer is no. The South seceded simply because he was elected, not because of anything he did.
