Today in class we got worksheets which was of Abraham Lincoln's speech regarding South Carolina's attempt to secession. He basically doesn't acknowledge the fact that they've broken off, still calling them states. He says that they can't leave, that signing the Constitution was their contract to being a part of the country. The way he said it smart because rather then "telling them off" or "scolding" them, he basically states they can't leave the union, and if they were allowed to it would lead to anarchy, the thing they left behind when coming to America from England.
