Option: c. Leaving slavery alone in the South.

Explanation:

American President Abraham Lincoln in 1861, stated in an inaugural address that he would not interfere the affairs of the slavery in the Southern state but he would find a way to secure the south that would be in a good way. He also did not want the confederate states to remain enemy to the North instead wanted to reconcile without any force (war).
