Coles Abraham Lincoln's First Inaugural Address: Restored Classics to Go Edition at Bayshore Shopping Centre in Ottawa, ON
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
In this powerful section of Lincoln's First Inaugural Address, the incoming president sets out to calm a nation on the brink of rupture. He promises not to interfere with slavery where it already exists, yet firmly insists that the Constitution must be honored in full, including the enforcement of fugitive slave laws and all other binding statutes. His tone is measured and conciliatory, but beneath it lies a clear warning: the new administration will govern by law, not by panic or sectional suspicion. Lincoln also declares the Union to be permanent, older than the Constitution and beyond any state's power to dissolve at will. He rejects secession as legally void, urges citizens to reconsider the destruction of a nation built on shared sacrifice, and defends majority rule and constitutional government against the dangers of disunion. While he says the government will not seek bloodshed, he makes plain that force will be met with force if necessary. The result is a forceful appeal for lawful compromise, national unity, and the preservation of the Union. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.
