Discussion.
The most obvious precedent is Jackson's reaction to SC nullification crisis.
Another is Washington's reaction to the Whisky Rebellion.
However, both had been in office a long while and both ever experienced military men compared to Lincoln's absence from office when the crisis started, lack of experience, and not informed by Buchannan.
I'm not looking at legal precedents.
There are other issues of what exactly did Lincoln do to impeded secession before hostilities. After shots fired it is a hot war with obvious precedents.
Go for it.
