In early March 1861, President Abraham Lincoln delivered his first inaugural address within which he stated he was not trying to disrupt slavery or states rights. He was focused on keeping the Union together, despite the states which had shown rebellion. He served the entire United States of America and wanted to dispell the apprehensions of the southern Democrat leaders. The Confederates decided to start the Civil War, and Lincoln, in SERVICE to keep the oath he swore, proceeded to raise armies to defend the USA's Constitution from the domestic-terrorist Confederate Democrats. Employing steadfast SERVICE during the trying times of the Civil War, Lincoln was an American hero who advanced social integrity to benefit all Americans.
