LAD #19 Lincoln's 2nd inaugural address

In 1865, Lincoln states how he is the same person and has the same opinions as he did since his last presidency. He mentions how in his last address, he mostly spoke about the civil war, but now he wants to move forward and create a better America. A great portion of our population are black slaves and Lincoln felt it was strange that all Americans are people, and they all pray to the same god, but for some reason the issues are so large, that it led to war. He lastly says that in order to create a strong, united nation, American people need to create peace and work together.
