Senor Lincoln vs. los Confederates

In AI 13.7, where Lincoln was giving his first Inaugural Address, there was quite a bit of talk about the union and holding it together in the face of secessionist threats. However, the union had already broken and was at Civil War in the time of the 2nd Address. In his second, Lincoln talks about the importance of sticking with the cause and slanders the Confederacy and makes them out - rightfully - to be the cause of the war because they were the ones to break the union. In both he mentions the rebels of the south being anarchists and having no right to leave the union.
