LAD 16: Second Inaugural Address of Abraham Lincoln

In Abraham Lincoln's second inaugural address, Lincoln makes a shorter message to the people then his first. He mostly wanted to tell the people what was going on with the Civil War. He says that no one wanted war on either side but it was inevitable. Lincoln states the problem of slavery that divided the nation and was the cause of war. To end his address he says that the war will end and unite the Union once and for all.
