For strategical and political reasons Lincoln decided to underline that the main goal of his administration was that of restore the Union. It was due to the delicate situation in being in the so called Border States, which were slaveholder states and therefore would have not tolerate any common policy aiming to abolish the slavery and free the slaves at once, whose consequence would probably have been that of joining the Confederacy.

Whether that other President would have gone to war to preserve the union, or would instead have wanted to allow the Confederacy to secede, and whether, if he did go to war, he would have been victorious as Lincoln was, or would instead have been defeated, and whether he would have made slavery an issue as Lincoln did, we cannot say. These things are all speculative.
