Summarize Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, 1865:
Essentially, in Lincoln’s second inaugural address, he declares that the news of progress of any war entanglement was as readily available for the people to access as Lincoln had himself. It was a shorter message for there wasn’t all that much news to convey. He describes first address as one devoted to saving the nation without instigating war, but acknowledges that now war has come upon them.
He briefly discusses the impact slavery had on the war, and how the war has proven to be worse than expected. He acknowledges that both sides had used their beliefs in God to pray, and Lincoln also describes how he believes that God has his own plan as to how to bring justice for what felt like an eternity of slave-owning practices.
Abe draws his address to a close with the end solution being finishing the war out, repairing damage done to the nation, and then take care of/ hospitalize wounded, or dead soldiers, along with their widows and children.
