Question 1

Question1

Fromthe speech of JohnPreston Smith, itis legal for Southern states to withdraw from the Union. According tothe speech, Preston insinuates that his government has the proof andevidence of the legal right of succession as the authority hasultimately assumed the right in its sovereign, powerful capacity.Besides, the causes for Southern states to withdraw from the Unionhave been deemed sufficient by the government. As well, since thewithdrawal of Southern states from the Union involved legalprocedures such as the government and the commissioner appointed bythe government of South Carolina, the secession is automaticallylegal.

Thereare several things that Northern states did which made Southernstates leave the Union. For instance, they promoted African slaverywhile for about 39 years people from the South had been assailing theinstitution of African slavery (Preston, 1). Large masses of peoplefrom the South had persistent fury and had been agitated by theinfluence of the wildest zeal to effect abolishment of Africanslavery. The North was referred to as a slaveholding state and thepeople from the North they were doing things that the South wasfighting against. Therefore, promoting African slavery was the numberone reason that forced South Carolina and her people from the Union.

Accordingto the speech by JohnPreston Smith, Northernpeople, from Virginia, were “noisyfaction, clamoring for place and power, hungry rabble, answering inblood to every appeal to brutal passion, shouting mob, ready to taketheir government a glittering epigram or a fusion theory (Preston,3). The North was completely different from the South because ofdifferences in ideologies and lifestyle. For instance, Northernerswere chanting fanatics their liberty was a painted strumpet, theywere not prosperous but were religious. Besides, they were calmpeople like the Southerners. People from the North could not even tryto fight for graves of their fathers, fight for liberty or hold themost majestic civilization. Not all these attributes andcharacteristics of Northerners pleased Southerners. South Carolinacould not work with people of such behavior.

Furthermore,the North exercised the requirements of the Constitution as well aslaws that protected slave property. The same people could not jointhe South in making stringent laws that prevented the executions ofthose provisions. The Northerners opposed the proclamation of theSouth that slavery and anti-slavery is a conflict of life and death.This implies that the North was planning to carry out slavery untilthe end of days.

Question2

Accordingto the speech of Abraham Lincoln, states cannot secede from the Unionbecause no state, either from the North or South, upon its argumentcan lawfully secede from the union that works to resolve as well asthe ordinance to effects that are legally void (Lincoln, 2). On thesame note, Abraham Lincoln adds that acts of violence in any stateagainst the government or the authority of the United States arerevolutionary or insurrectionary depending on the circumstances whenthey take place. For that reason, even with the North gettinginvolved in extreme slavery activities, the South and its state haveno legal right to withdraw from the Union.

AbrahamLincoln had several views towards South Carolina mainly based on itsapprehension. According to Lincoln, there is apprehension inindividuals from the South that with the succession to a RepublicanAdministration, their personal security, belonging as well as peaceare to be endangered. Lincoln says that there was no any concrete orreasonable cause for the South to come up with such an apprehension.He insists that there is ample and enough evidence to the contrary ofthe apprehension that the South had, and the evidence has been opento inspection by people from the South (Lincoln, 1). This impliesthat Abraham Lincoln did not support the secession of the South fromthe Union as the South came up with excuses for the exit. Even withthe excuses, Abraham Lincoln still tells the South that it cannotlawfully withdraw from the Union.

Asthe president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln says that he hasseveral duties. For instance, Lincoln has the duty of addressingAmerican citizens as well as taking in their presence the oath thatis prescribed by the United States Constitution. Moreover, as thepresident of the United States of America, Abraham Lincoln had theresponsibility of taking care and ensuring that laws of the Unionwere faithfully executed in all states of America (Lincoln, 3). Aswell, Lincoln did not intend to getting involved, either directly orindirectly, with the establishment of slavery in states where slaveryalready existed.

Lincolncontinues to say that as the president, he believes he has no lawfulright to institute slavery. He adds that he has no inclination ofdoing so. Furthermore, Lincoln has the responsibility of making surethat the United States and Universal law are perpetual. In general,as the president of the United States, Abraham Lincoln needs toensure that he follows the provisions and requirements of theConstitution of the United States.
