The South was attempting a preemptive counter-revolution in 1860-1. While Lincoln had no intention of acting upon slavery in the States, he did intend to act against it in the Territories. While even if he had the intention he couldn't have in 1861, the handwriting was on the wall. Kansas showed that there would be no new slave states and that it was only a matter of time before enough new free states were added that it would be possible for the Constitution to be amended to end the peculiar institution.
