Lincoln's first inauguration took place on the East Portico of the U.S. Capitol on March 4, 1861, with the country already splitting apart. Seven Southern states had left the Union by then, and the crowd gathered that day was watched closely by soldiers and sharpshooters stationed around the grounds. Lincoln used his address to appeal to the seceding states, stating that he had no intention of interfering with slavery where it existed, while insisting the Union could not be dissolved. Within six weeks, Confederate forces had fired on Fort Sumter, and the crowd at the Capitol became a picture of a nation on the brink of war.
