LAD/Blog #15: Lincoln's First Inaugural Address

Lincoln first proclaims that there is aprehension in the South concerning their peace. He states that he is in no place to mess alter with it because the states have their own rights that he does not want to violate. By doing so, it would be deemed unconstitutional.  However, he also refers to a clause that argues citizens of each state will receive the same privileges as one living else where. Lincoln is focused on preserving the union and slavery is one of the dividing factors. Towards the end of his speech, he promotes unity and wants the North and South to coexist, instead of being enemies.
