Lincolns inaugural adress

Abraham Lincoln begins his speech by reminding the crowd that it had not been too long since the begining of the United States of America which was based on ideals of freedom and liberty. He then went on to explain how the Civil War is going to test to see if the US could withstand a war between their own citizens. He also says that he doesn't want to end slavery, he just wants to keep it isolated i designated states. He also mentions that he wants to make the US a nationalistic country as it used to be, and also that he wants to protect states rights. His main goal was to keep the union united and equal. He closes that his speech by saying that any man that dies for his country would not be dying in vain, but for their country.

Lincoln was trying to be a centrist, just trying to accomplish
stuff by compromising with the other side. Clinton was a democrat
but he acted fairly conservative, to appeal to a wider range of people.
