analyze Abraham Lincoln's ideas about liberty, equality, union, and government as contained in his first and second inaugural addresses and the Gettysburg address1st Inaugural Address- March 4, 1861I 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 whoelected me did so with full knowledge1st Inaugural Address- March 4, 1861One section of our country believes slavery is right and ought to be extended This is the only substantial dispute. This, I think, can not be perfectly cured, and it would be worse in both cases after the separation of the sections than before Physically speaking, we can not separate. We can not remove our respective sections from each other nor build an impassable wall between them1st Inaugural Address- March 4, 1861In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The Government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the Government, while I shall have the most solemn one to "preserve, protect, and defend it."1st Inaugural Address- March 4, 1861We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

2nd Inaugural Address- March 4, 1865four years ago all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it, all sought to avert it. While theinaugural addresswas being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, insurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war--seeking to dissolve the Union and divide effects by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish, and the war came.Wednesday- Pre-AP ClassesHave out your graphic organizer from yesterday or your tickets.

Todays Task: analyze Abraham Lincoln's ideas about liberty, equality, union, and government as contained in his first and second inaugural addresses and the Gettysburg address2nd Inaugural Address- March 4, 1865http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/lincoln2.aspAt this second appearing to take theoathof the Presidential office there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then a statement somewhat in detail of a course to be pursued seemed fitting and proper. Now, with the great contest which still absorbs the attention and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that is new could be presented. four years ago all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it, all sought to avert it. While theinaugural addresswas being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, insurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it without war--seeking to dissolve the Union and divide effects by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war, but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would accept war rather than let it perish, and the war came.2nd Inaugural Address- March 4, 1865http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/lincoln2.aspOne-eighth of the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. These slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that this interest was somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen, perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the insurgents would rend the Union even by war, while the Government claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial enlargement of it. 2nd Inaugural Address- March 4, 1865http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/lincoln2.aspNeither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other. It may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered. That of neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own purposes. 2nd Inaugural Address- March 4, 1865http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/lincoln2.asp"Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh." [Luke 17/ Matthew 18]If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due, shall we discern therein any departure from those divine attributes which the believers in a living God always ascribe to Him? 2nd Inaugural Address- March 4, 1865http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/lincoln2.aspFondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. [Psalm 19:9]2nd Inaugural Address- March 4, 1865http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/lincoln2.aspWith malice [hatred] toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.
