Answer 1

Hello There. the Correct answer is C. I will not attack you and don't intend to interfere in slavery in your states.

Explanation: Because LincoIn's “I have always hated slavery,” Lincoln said. But slavery was deeply rooted in the

Constitution. He had understood that it could not be uprooted overnight.

Lincoln had won the presidency in 1860 vowing to stop slavery from spreading. Free

territories would one day ripen into free states, and slavery would be surrounded. With

its roots choked off, slavery would eventually die out.

For much of his first year, Lincoln had focused on ending the Southern rebellion.

Somehow, he had to address the root cause. The Constitution offered little help. It had

left slavery in the hands of individual states.

But the war opened up new possibilities. Lincoln believed the Constitution allowed the

President to do in wartime what he could never do in times of peace. Hope It Helps! .ω.
