B
whether the South had the right to secede
C
whether slavery would continue to exist in the South
D
whether the North and the South would go to war

Explanation

Lincoln believed the Union was permanent and that no state had the right to leave it. Davis, as president of the Confederacy, defended secession as a right of the Southern states. Their strongest disagreement was therefore over whether the South had the right to secede.
