Connecting to a larger context
Source: President James Buchanan, fourth annual message to Congress (December 3, 1860)
". . . All for which the slave States have ever contended, is to be let alone and permitted to manage their domestic institutions in their own way. As sovereign States, they, and they alone, are responsible before God and the world for the slavery existing among them. . . .
"The Southern States, standing on the basis of the Constitution, have a right to demand this act of justice from the States of the North. Should it be refused, then the Constitution, to which all the States are parties, will have been willfully violated by one portion of them in a provision essential to the domestic security and happiness of the remainder. In that event the injured States, after having first used all peaceful and constitutional means to obtain redress, would be justified in revolutionary resistance to the Government of the Union. . . ."

This excerpt from document two connects to when the abolition of slavery was truly beginning to happen. Buchanan was a democrat who morally was against slavery but seemed to think the Constitution protected the rights of slave owners. " Should it be refused, then the Constitution, to which all the States are parties, will have been willfully violated by one portion of them in a provision essential to the domestic security and happiness of the remainder" . Buchanan states simply that if the southeners are refused their " rights " to have slaves then the peace that Anti and Pro slavery people, will no longer exist. I am meeting the essay's requirements for contextualization because I am quoting the context directly and using the context to help inform my audience.

A section from Documentary Two relates to the period where slavery was finally abolished. Buchanan was a democrat who fought for slavery morally but believed the Constitution safeguarded slave holders' rights.

When it is refused, one fraction of the states will have willfully broken our Constitution, whereby all states are parties, in a clause critical to the internal security or happiness of the rest.
Wallace merely states that if southerners are denied their "rights" to own slaves, the anti-slavery movement's desired calm will be lost.
Since I am quoting the context and using it to educate the audience, I am meeting the essay's inferencing criteria.
