There was no negotiating. Lincoln winning the presidency was why the war was inevitable. That was the line in the sand for the South. The Republican Party, which Lincoln was the nominee for, was formed by abolitionists whose stated goal was to stop the expansion of slavery.Weird, given that Republicans love boasting about Abraham Lincoln.
Lincoln probably also would've preferred negotiation to mitigate deaths during the US Civil War...
Take a look at the Hampton Roads Conference:

If he were a modern politician he'd have told the southerners that they can keep the slaves just don't expand.
What negotiation?
Think of it in mafia terms.
