On March 4, 1861, Abraham Lincoln assumed the presidency of the United States. He was the 16th President. He delivered his inaugural speech in which he offered "an amicable hand" to the southern states but he also mentioned that by no means he was going to allow states to secede. Let's remember that in November 1860, seven states decided to separate from the Union to form the Confederate States of America. This was the beginning of many differences that ended up in a civil war.
