        In Lincoln's first inaguaral address he focuses mainly on the issue of slavery, which is an issue that causes much tension between the north and the south. Lincoln begins with how he isn't on a side of this matter and that he has no right to interfere with slavery in the south and it all rely's solely on the constitution. The constitution states that no person working in one state can be free of labor if the enter another state. This obviously applies to the laves that excaped from the south to the free north. Although he believes these problems may never be fully solved, he thinks that if the country splits over this issue it is going to end up being alot worse. He alsso stresses how important unity is and how it has exsisted in our country for a long time. He believes that states must interact with eachother for the mutal benefit of the country and succession of states may lead to anarchy. He stresses that all states must not be enemies and must all get along
