What are the similarities between Northerners and Southerners that Lincoln outlines in the speech? What are their differences? Why does Lincoln highlight these similarities and differences in the speech?

Frequently addressing, Northerners were real lovers of Lincoln. Opponent to slavery and its expansion were broadly upheld, so Lincoln's campaign promise not to increase slavery was affectionately greeted. There was also a general understanding in the North that the American way of politics had been skewed too far towards protecting the attention of the Southern states.

The North encountered higher migration than the South. Southerners spent in slavery while Northerners spent in manufacturing. The slavery problem escalated strains between the North and South.

Jefferson assumed that Chastellux had identified the Virginians, just probably over with a generous eye. He takes it against himself to describe moreover what are some of Chastellux's approaches especially in connection to the business penetration.

According to Lincoln, in a letter to Alexander Stephens:

Do the people of the South actually consider fears that a Republican government would, undeviatingly, or discursively, conflict with their slaves, or with them, regarding their slaves? If they do, I envy to reassure you, as once a companion, and yet, I believe, not an opponent, that there is no reason for before-mentioned worries. The South would be in no further threat in this regard than it was in the times of Washington. I think, though, this does not fit the case. You believe slavery is legitimate, and consider it to be a moral obligation that has to be stretched; while we believe it is evil and ought to be diminished. That I guess is the difficulty. It absolutely is the only real distinction among us.
