Let me answer that question with a question, WHAT part of the constitution Did Lincoln follow. I can give you the answer real quick ________. (Them's Blanks).

One of his major unconstitutional was Ordering 75,000 troops to invade the South. He Wiggled around the fact that according to to the constitution only Congress could declare war by declaring a "Police Action" but he did not have constitutional authority even for that.

Few people are aware that "Neither Side" ever declared war.

As to leaving it to History, history was written by the North, who has lied to us for well over 150 years about all the "Facts" of that war.
