Those two are the same.
Somewhat different was the position of Lincoln and the Republican Party when they won the 1860 election.
Along with most people in the North, they knew that slavery was the mainstay of the cotton industry, and they were keen not to lose the cotton revenues.
But they were also keen to maintain their majority in Congress, and be free to protect American industry (nearly all in the North) with import tariffs that the South were liable to pay, having no industry of their own.
The war started when the newly-inaugurated Lincoln (not an abolitionist) rejected the final compromise because it would have allowed for some new slave-states.
