WHAT THE FUCK. This question is propaganda, in the south you're taught the correct answer is "states' rights" but that is 100% the "Lost Cause" narrative

States' rights would be the South's motivation for Lost Causers, but I assume the correct answer here for Lincoln is "preserving the Union," which is true, and not at all a point in favor of their classic "it wasn't about slavery" argument. I've had this debate in person with randos in Oklahoma!

Yes, from Lincoln's perspective "preserving the union" would be correct. I wonder what the "right" answer was
