In his inaugural address, Lincoln refused to compromise on which of the following issues? slavery in Southern states slavery in Western states secession of Southern states war against the South
Answers
Answer:
Written in a spirit of reconciliation toward the seceded states, Lincoln's inaugural address touched on several topics: first, his pledge to "hold, occupy, and possess the property and places belonging to the government"—including Fort Sumter, which was still in Federal hands; second, his argument that the Union was not completely abolishing slavery.
He stated that the secession was both wrong plus unconstitutional. He then appealed to the rebellious states to return in peace.
Many maintain that the primary cause of the war was the Southern states' desire to preserve the institution of slavery. Others minimize slavery and point to other factors, such as taxation or the principle of States' Rights.
