In his first inaugural address, President Abraham Lincoln was trying to keep the United States together. It was an unsuccessful plea; less than one month after his inaugural speech, the Confederate attack on Fort Sumter started the Civil War.

Lincoln did not believe in the expansion of slavery, and had already won the election of 1860, which was the final event in a series of occurrences that deepened the growing conflict between northern and southern states. Lincoln's name did not even appear on the ballot in a single Southern state, yet he won the election. The more populated North had outvoted the South. Southerners were now convinced that their voices were not being heard. Led by South Carolina, nine southern states had already seceded from the Union at the time of Lincoln's speech.

Answer from: Quest

atman means 'eternal self'. the atman refers to the real self beyond ego or false self. it is often referred to as 'spirit' or 'soul' and indicates our true self or essence which underlies our existence.

there are many interesting perspectives on the self in hinduism ranging from the self as eternal servant of god to the self as being identified with god. the understanding of the self as eternal supports the idea of reincarnation in that the same eternal being can inhabit temporary bodies.

the idea of atman entails the idea of the self as a spiritual rather than material being and thus there is a strong dimension of hinduism which emphasises detachment from the material world and promotes practices such as asceticism. thus it could be said that in this world, a spiritual being, the atman, has a human experience rather than a human being having a spiritual experience.
