Answer:

In addition, Lincoln says that the South was willing to "rend the Union, even by war" in order to "strengthen, perpetuate, and extend" slavery, even though the government only wanted to "restrict the territorial enlargement" of slavery.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Rejecting the South's defense of slavery as “a positive good” and the North's assumption that they bore no responsibility for the peculiar institution, Lincoln used his Second Inaugural Address to propose a common public memory of both the war and American slavery as the basis for restoring national unity.
