Lincoln knew the crisis was coming but he was either too timid or too stupid try to keep the Union together before it fell apart. He should have made promises and wined and dined the Southern agitators and even bribed them if that's what it took to cool down the hot heads but he didn't. The fool thought the Civil War would only last a month. The fawning drooling "historians" had it backward. Lincoln was responsible for splitting the Union rather than keeping it together.

The Truth as stated by who? Often the truth is difficult to know. Who do you believe? Everything you know about Lincoln has been given to you by someone else. Why do you trust them?

Combining his own direct quotes from speeches and letters and comparing them with what he actually did/allowed to happen is a good start.

Sure. But which speeches do you take? Which actions do you take? Which opinion of what he did with his actions do you take?
Lincoln did things which are interpreted differently by different people. Also, how do you know there aren't speeches which have been suppressed? How do you know the speeches he supposedly made were his speeches? I mean, someone's telling you they're his speeches, but why do you believe them when they say this? Also, his actions, why do you believe someone who told you they were his actions?

the north INVADED the south which was a sovereign country at that point.The south offered to pay for all federal facilities on their property and escort all civilians and fed troops safely to their country...
The South essentially seceded because of unfair tariffs and Free Trade.
The North couldn't compete with the cheaper and better European goods coming into Southern ports, so they imposed the Morrill tariffs in 1860.
The poor Whites of the South couldn't afford Northern goods or to pay the tariffs, so they ignored them.
The Federal government sent troops and tariff collectors to Southern ports. The south was aware of the Anaconda Plan and saw blockading the ports as ANOTHER act of war against them..which it was..
This was all intolerable to the economic well being of the South, so they seceded from the Federal Union and ordered the evacuation of all Federal officers and troops from the Confederacy.
Lincoln ordered Fort Sumpter not to comply and sent ships and troops to resupply them.
The South opened fire on the invaders and forced them to surrender. No lives were lost on either side and the fed. troops were all given safe passage to their own lines.
