One of the first things that he did as President was to for a Peace Commission to try to resolve the differences with the union, but, unfortunately, Lincoln preferred a more violent solution.

He sent a group to deliver an ultimatum to Lincoln, you mean. Peace was not what he wanted, surrender was.

Since when does asking to be left alone qualify as asking for someone to surrender?
