Had the South not left - maybe Lincoln would not have signed the Emancipation Proclamation. It was 'THE WAR' itself that gave him those powers.... I hope you know that. As the Confederate states did not fall under Yank control - the Proclamation held legally.
IF the South had stayed in.... and SC does not fire on that fort... Lincoln does not have the power to sign that document.

The republican party was formed to end slavery.
The South left the Union because of this fight.
