Abraham Lincoln's second inaugural address, delivered on March 4, 1865, reflects a poignant moment in American history as the Civil War nears its conclusion and slavery teeters on the brink of abolition. In just 703 words, Lincoln emphasizes the themes of national guilt, reconciliation, and unity, rather than triumph or condemnation. This powerful speech, regarded as one of his greatest, is enshrined in the Lincoln Memorial alongside the Gettysburg Address.
