Read the excerpt from Abraham Lincoln’s first inaugural address.

In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. . . . You have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the Government, while I shall have the most solemn one to "preserve, protect, and defend it.”
