Abraham Lincoln rose to power at the very edge of the Civil War, in 1861, as America´s 16th president. His first inaugural address as President was mostly intended for the people of the South, after the secession from the Union of several Southern states. What he sought with his address, was to put the South at rest, as to how he would act on several subjects, but most importantly slavery, and military action against the South.

Given this small introduction, then, the correct selection of options from the answers, to the question: In his first inaugural address, what points did Lincoln emphasize, would be:

2. He had no intention of invading the South. Lincol´s address, meant primarily for the people of the South, assured them that he had no intention of using force against this region, unless it was absolutely necessary to carry out his duties as given to him by the Constitution. Therefore, if there was no need, he would not touch Southern lands.

3. He was going to allow slavery in the states that already had it. Lincoln, in fact, told his audience that he had no right to interfere with an institution that was supported by the Constitution and which had been a tradition of the Southern states since before the establishment of the Union. He had not intention of seeking a change in the institution as far as it went in the South. What he wanted was to prevent its spread to the new territories, and on this, he was emphatic.

4. He was not going to allow the seizing of Federal property. In this part, he was making reference of the taking of Fort Sumter by Confederate forces. What he told his audience was that it was his duty as President to see to the welfare of the federal territories and that he would protect these territories to the best of his ability, even through the use of force.

The points above were some of the many that Lincoln made during his first inaugural address on March 4, 1861.
