Here, Abraham Lincoln appears alongside a passage from his first inaugural address, delivered on March 4, 1861. By then seven Southern states had already left the Union and formed the Confederacy, and the speech was an appeal to preserve the nation without war. It closes with the line "We are not enemies, but friends," a plea that still reads as the heart of his early presidency.
