What is the main idea of this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln’s First Inaugural Address? Apprehension seems to exist among the peop

le of the Southern States that by the accession of a Republican administration their property and their peace and personal security are to be endangered. There has never been any reasonable cause for such apprehension. Indeed, the most ample evidence to the contrary has all the while existed and been open to their inspection. It is found in nearly all the published speeches of him who now addresses you. I do but quote from one of those speeches when I declare that "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." Those who nominated and elected me did so with full knowledge that I had made this and many similar declarations, and had never recanted them.

Lincoln was trying to ensure the southern states that he wouldn't be taking their slaves away from them and that he'd try his best to find a way for them to keep their slaves if it'd keep them content.

Answer:

The Southern states had no reason to worry for their personal freedom and well being.

Explanation:

In his Inaugural Address, President Abraham Lincoln addressed the concerns of the Southern States that <em>"the accession of a Republican administration [will endanger] their property and their peace and personal security"</em>. But he greatly stressed that this is not so. He even quoted his previous speech where he had promised to never <em>"interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists."</em> He also states that he had <em>"no lawful right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so."</em> This proves that the Southern States need not worry about their personal freedom and well being, despite him becoming President.

How did you react to the revelation that Vladek and Anja had been trapped? Were you
Juli2301 [7.4K]

The revelation that Vladeck and Anja were under arrest is shocking to the reader, as the story creates hope that they will manage to escape without being arrested.

Although you have not shown the text to which this question refers, we can see from the context of the question that you are referring to "Maus" by Art Spiegelman , a biographical graphic novel, which recounts the journey of Vladeck and Anja, two Polish Jews who survived the holocaust.

Reading the graph novel reveals the following information:

  • Jews gradually lost rights and freedoms.
  • Anja and Vladeck, suffered all these losses, reaching the point where they needed to stay hidden to avoid being arrested and taken to concentration camps.
  • The hiding places were too dangerous.
  • Anja and Vadeck received an offer to travel to Hungary with a middleman, as Hungary had not been invaded by Nazi forces.
  • The middleman was working alongside the Nazis and tricked Vladeck and Anja.
  • At the beginning of the trip to Hungary, the middleman informed the Nazis that Vladeck and Anja were on the train.
  • At that point, they were arrested and taken to concentration camps.

During the reading, the reader is apprehensive about the persecution that Anja and Vladeck suffer and creates an empathy for them, reaching the point that the reader wants them to manage to flee to Hugria. In this case, when they are arrested the reader is surprised, as they are surprised and saddened, as they had proof that the middleman was a trustworthy person and that the trip was safe.
