1. What is Lincoln telling the South he would not do?

Take away their slaves.

Explanation:

He made it a point to tell the south that he would not take away their slaves. The reason the south fought anyway is because they felt like they would be contained as states that allow slavery, and after that it would only be a matter of time. So they seceded from the US to protect their slaves from being taken away.
