Lincoln Inaugural Address:
March 3, 1861 What has already taken
place?? Secession of 7 states
beginning w/ S.C. Fort Sumter is brewing,
Lincoln must decide what to do…
"The power confided to me will be used to hold, occupy, and possess the property and places belonging to the Government…"
"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...."
In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the
momentous issue of civil war.... 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.'
"I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies..."What are Lincoln’s
options??
Options
1.Resupply the fort
2.Resupply and send troops
3.Fight to keep the fort (offensive)
4.Abandon the fort
