Answer:
He wanted to keep the union together.
Explanation:
The given quote is an excerpt from the first inaugural address of Abraham Lincoln as the president of the United States that illustrates his reaffirmation of desire to keep the Union intact and not interfere with Slavery. His chief goal was to preserve the unity of the state and he says that he would 'preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of United States' and assures that laws of Union would be faithfully executed. He, however, said that the Constitution does not state that what could or what could not be done regarding slavery in the territories and proposed "Fugitive Slave Act". Thus, he states the quote "I have no purpose......to do so" as he wanted to keep the Union together and not interfere in Constitutional offerings.
