Lincoln tried to reassure the South in his First Inaugural Address by ensuring the South that he had no intention of abolishing slavery there, but he spoke forcefully against secession. He also said that the North and the South are friends and they must not be enemies. Lincoln also promised to enforce the Fugitive Slave Act.
