Read the excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's first inaugural
address.
According to the quote, why did President Lincoln
believe he had an advantage over the Confederacy?
In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and
not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war... You
have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the
Government, while I shall have the most solemn one to
"preserve, protect, and defend it."
-First inaugural address,
Abraham Lincoln, 1861
O He had the power of a trained army, while the
Confederacy was in the process of training a militia.
O He had a strong economic advantage, while the

O He swore an oath to defend the government, but the
Confederacy did not have an oath to destroy it.
O He could control supply routes in the South, but the
Confederacy could not control Northern supply lines
