In the first Inaugural Address, what is the most important thing to Lincoln?

History

nordsb [41]2 years ago
5 0

“Plainly, the central idea of secession is the essence of anarchy.” In his First Inaugural Address, Abraham Lincoln explained why his duty as the newly-elected president required him to treat secession as an act of rebellion and not a legitimate political action. Nothing less than the survival of self-government was at stake. As the duly elected president, Lincoln believed that majority rule constrained by “constitutional checks” and informed by public opinion was “the only true sovereign of a free people.” Rule by any other principle would lead to chaos or despotism. Moreover, Lincoln thought the union of the American states was perpetual, and that it could not be “peaceably unmade by less than all the parties who make it.”

This i do not know sadly but i did some research for you and google says and i quote


"When Virginia declared its secession from the Union in April 1861, Lee chose to follow his home state, despite his desire for the country to remain intact and an offer of a senior Union command. During the first year of the Civil War, Lee served as a senior military adviser to Confederate President Jefferson Davis".

During reconstruction the Southern states needed to be rebuilt. There were attempts to rebuild, revive the Southern economy, and put the South back up to where it had been. The 13th-15th amendments were also created during this time. However, reconstruction ultimately failed as freed slaves were not properly integrated into society and the efforts to reconstruct were not effective
