Lincolns Inaugural Address:
The issue over slavery has become a increasingly painful so Lincoln starts out by addressing it instantly. His main concern appears to be conserving the Union so he announces he is not going to remove slavery from the South. He also talks about how runaway slaves are technically their owners even after they have runaway. Meaning they can be returned to slavery at any time. Lincoln believes that although the issues of slavery are very severe, they are not going anywhere. He understands how dangerous and unfortunite things could become but he says the key to success is the unity of the states. United States of America. We cannot be enemies if we want to succeed.
