Summmarization of the Abraham Lincoln Second Inaugural Address

    On the day of March 4, 1865 Abraham Lincoln was admitted into his second Inaugural Address. His speech was overwhelming but yet serious. The purpose of the speech  was to inform the nation of the problems of South and the North face with the Civil War.
 
 Slavery was a very important issue for the Civil War. The South wanted to continue and expand the territories of the slaves, while the North wanted slavery to be abolished and not expanded. Both sides thought that they could have their way but as Abraham Lincoln stated only God may judge someone else. American Slavery is one of the offenses, in providence of God, must needs come but which having continued through his  appointed time.God has a will to remove the war that the North and South created.

   I believed that their was no cause for the slavery period. Abraham Lincoln proudly disagreed with it and made the Emancipation Proclamation official. He wanted peace amongst the nations and between ourselves.
