About this book

Lincoln spoke these words on 4 March 1861, as he took the presidential oath, at a moment when many in the Southern states feared what a Republican administration would mean for them. He answers that fear directly, quoting his own earlier statement that he had no purpose to interfere with slavery in the states where it existed, and reading the Republican platform's resolution on the rights of the states.

He goes on to the constitutional clause about persons escaping from service in one state into another, and to the oath every member of Congress swears to support the whole Constitution.
