Read these two excerpts from Lincoln’s First Inaugural Address (Excerpt 1) and Davis’s Inaugural Address (Excerpt 2). How are the speakers’ arguments in the excerpts different? Excerpt 1
I hold that, in contemplation of universal law and of the Constitution, the Union of these States is perpetual. Perpetuity is implied, if not expressed, in the fundamental law of all national governments. It is safe to assert that no government proper ever had a provision in its organic law for its own termination. Continue to execute all the express provisions of our National Constitution, and the Union will endure forever—it being impossible to destroy it except by some action not provided for in the instrument itself.

Excerpt 2
… We have entered upon the career of independence, and it must be inflexibly pursued. Through many years of controversy with our late associates, the Northern States, we have vainly endeavored to secure tranquillity, and to obtain respect for the rights to which we were entitled. As a necessity, not a choice, we have resorted to the remedy of separation; and henceforth our energies must be directed to the conduct of our own affairs, and the perpetuity of the Confederacy which we have formed.

A.
One speaks of the permanent existence of the Union, and the other speaks of the permanent existence of the Confederacy.
B.
One describes how a government can destroy itself, and the other describes how a government can protect itself.
C.
One focuses on the independence of governments around the world, and the other focuses on the independence of the Union.
D.
One argues for continuing to enslave people, and the other argues for putting an end to the enslavement of people.
