Select the correct answer. Read these two excerpts from Lincoln's First Inaugural Address (Excerpt 1) and Davis's Inaugural Address (Excerpt 2). How are the speakers
arguments in the excerpts different?
Excerpt 1
I hold that in contemplation of universal law and of the Constitution, the Union of these states is perpetual. Perpetuity is implied, if not
expressed in the fundamental law of all national governments. It is safe to assert that no government proper ever had a provision in its
organic law for its own termination. Continue to execute all the express provisions of our National Constitution, and the Union will endure
forever-it being impossible to destroy it except by some action not provided for in the instrument itself.
Excerpt 2
We have entered upon the career of independence, and it must be inflexibly pursued. Through many years of controversy with our late
associates, the Northern States, we have vainly endeavored to secure tranquillity, and to obtain respect for the rights to which we were
entitled. As a necessity, not a choice, we have resorted to the remedy of separation; and henceforth our energies must be directed to the
conduct of our own affairs, and the perpetuity of the Confederacy which we have formed.
