LAD #19: Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address

Summary of Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address -

Lincolns began his second term on March 4, 1865.  He commences by discussing the anxiety that Americans were feeling about the possibility of a Civil War when he stood there four years ago.  Now, Americans are anxiously waiting for the end of the war.  Everyone understands that slavery was the cause of this war but no one expected this conflict to last as long as it had at this point.  It is time for Americans to reunite and heal the nation and create a lasting peace.
