Was Abraham Lincoln a criminal?

Had Abraham Lincoln forgotten his Inaugural Address of March, 1861?

The Republican Party placed on the platform for my acceptance and as a law to themselves and me, the clear and emphatic resolution which I now read:
“Resolved: That the maintenance of the rights of the states, and especially the right of each state to order and control its own domestic institutions, according to its own judgment exclusively, is essential to that balance of power in which the perfection and endurance of our political fabric depend: and we denounce the lawless invasion by armed forces of the soil of any state, or territory, no matter what pretext, as among the gravest of crimes.”

These messages of congratulations for lawless invasion of the South by armed forces make Abraham Lincoln a criminal by his own definition.
