1.
LINCOLN’S PRESIDENCY
Lincoln addressed the Union
of States when he said, “I
have no purpose, directly or
indirectly, to interfere with the
institution of slavery in the
States where it exists. I
believe I have no lawful right
to do so, and I have no
inclination to do so.” He did
not plan to deal with slavery.

own mere motion,
can lawfully get out of
the Union…..”

war, but one of them would
make war rather than let the

came.”
– Lincoln

Confederacy responsible for
the Civil War

Lincoln addressed the
Southern secession when he
said, “All profess to be
content in the Union if all
constitutional rights can be
maintained. Is it true, then,
than any right plainly written
in the Constitution has been
denied? I think not....”

conquest or interfering
with the rights of…states,
but to defend and
maintain the supremacy
of the Constitution and to
preserve the Union.”
