Lincoln, The War Monger; Lincoln, le guerrier de guerre
There is great debate over whether Lincoln was a Christian; I feel that there is enough evidence to indicate that by the time he spoke at Gettysburg that he was a Christian. He certainly quoted the Bible regularly in his speeches. However, it is true he was one of the three pillars of the Secret Order of
Rosicrucianism (see link 3 below).
Rosicrucian teachings are a combination of occultism and other religious beliefs and practices, including Hermeticism, Jewish mysticism, and Christian gnosticism. The central feature ofRosicrucianism is the belief that its members possess secret wisdom that was handed down to them from ancient times.
Some historians believe that in his early in his life he was a skeptic; his wife practiced spiritualism, an occult practice.
It is also true, and I believe, that the Morrill Tariff was one of the causes of the "War of Northern Aggression" or the Civil War. See the second link below. Lincoln refused to discuss the Morrill Tariff with the Virginia delegation; the Virginians did not want to secede from the Union. The Morrill Tariff and previous high tariffs caused economic depression in the South because the South was an exporting region.

Finally, I think the video makes a mistake, I do not believe Kentucky seceded from the Union, although Kentucky was a slave-holding state and had many confederates residing there.
In fact, the Cumberland Gap region of Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky remained fiercely pro-Union and Lincoln Memorial University was founded in the memory of Abraham Lincoln. It possesses one of the best Civil War museums I have seen. See Map below. It is on route 25 near Corinth, Kentucky, Colonel Sanders lived there of KFC fame.
