You'll find a lot of people disagree with you, least of which was Abe Lincoln himself. But don't let that stop you from making ridiculous analogies....
Abe would have saved both "evil" slavery and the union if he could
I would save the Union. I would save it the shortest way under the Constitution. The sooner the national authority can be restored; the nearer the Union will be "the Union as it was." If there be those who would not save the Union, unless they could at the same time save slavery, I do not agree with them. If there be those who would not save the Union unless they could at the same time destroy slavery, I do not agree with them. My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union; and what I forbear, I forbear because I do not believe it would help to save the Union. I shall do less whenever I shall believe what I am doing hurts the cause, and I shall do more whenever I shall believe doing more will help the cause. I shall try to correct errors when shown to be errors; and I shall adopt new views so fast as they shall appear to be true views.

Lincoln saw the conflict coming and knew it was unavoidable , yet did compromises to avoid it. You and I would do the same thing and we and our leaders are doing it today.
The union was a higher priority but slavery was also on the table. It was not for one and not the other, it was priority.
I firmly believe fiscal conservatism is a priority over social conservatism. Not that I don’t care about social conservatism but that if we cut off the money a lot of liberal ideas will die. Many vehemently disagree with me and call me names for my stance.
The issues of abortion, immigration, homos, state vs federal power and others are still on the table and unresolved. We might as well have the fight early to find out what we are about.
just my opoinion, you don’t have to agree.
