In his inaugural address why did Lincoln refer to the right of each state to control its own affairs?

Because he wanted to assure the public opinion of the South that he and his government had no intention to interfere or intervene in the States' own internal affair or institutions. He was particularly referring to the "Peculiar Institution" and, in detail, to what is contemplated in the Constitution: Quote: No person held to service or labor in one State, under the laws thereof, escaping into another, shall in consequence of any law or regulation therein be discharged from such service or labor, but shall be delivered up on claim of the party to whom such service or labor may be due.

What does the statement no person held to service for labor in one state under the laws thereof escaping to another shall consequence of any law or regulation there in be discharged from such service?

The statement refers to a provision in the U.S. Constitution, specifically the Fugitive Slave Clause (Article IV, Section 2). It asserts that individuals who were enslaved and escaped from one state to another must be returned to their owners and cannot be freed by the laws of the state they fled to. This clause was a legal foundation for the enforcement of slavery and contributed to the tensions leading up to the Civil War. It reflects the complexities of state versus federal authority regarding the institution of slavery in the United States.
