LAD#19: Lincoln's 2nd Inaugural Address

Summary:
He begins with saying that while this second election is still an honor it is not as big of an occasion as the first. He then says that he feels as though the public knows him by now and he hopes good things will come to the country in the future but nothing is guaranteed. Four years ago the country was afraid of going to war. Though everyone was afraid of war it came anyway. The power of God was with them in this deep time of distress and even though there was a lot of blood lost it would only be the judgements of God the mattered. He ends with that he does not hate anyone and he will do his best to achieve what is best for the nation during his second term.
