Events leading up to the United States Civil War, December 4th 1860
District of Columbia
Outgoing President Buchanan gives State of the Union Message blaming fanatical abolitionism for destroying the country. He admits of the sovereignty of each state but that the Federal Government would defend the forts if attacked. He said slavery was on the way out, and he proposed a constitutional amendment protecting property rights in slaves. He condemned secession and said the election of one of our countryman was no legitimate reason to leave the Union, but he admitted he had no power to coerce a state.
