4. How did Lincoln's ideas in his first inaugural address compare to those of Jefferson

Davis?

answer is given below

Explanation:

Abraham Lincoln assumed the presidency on March 4, 1861, when seven southern states had already split from the Union and four more had declared their opposition to the federal government's attempt to negotiate with the states. The national upheaval of secession at the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln was a terrible fact. Jefferson started Davis as union president two weeks ago. The former Illinois congressman reached Washington by secret route to avoid danger, and his movements were monitored by General Winfield Scott's forces. Davis spoke at the Alabama Capitol of Montgomery about the merits of the new constitution, which he said was in accordance with the 1787 Constitution written in Philadelphia and in accordance with the Declaration of Independence. He argued that following federal government actions, federal states had no choice but to create their own constitution.
