Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address

Lincoln wrote The Inaugural Speech to make people see that the things they where doing isn't right and the things we are doing wasn't  right,we wasn't taking pride in our country, we had slaves but America was suppose to be a free country? didn't seem like it at time. ''both read he same bible and pray to the same god and each invokes his aid against the other. it may seem strange that any men should dare to ask god  for god assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces''? He was saying how could any men ask for the help of God when they are doing Wrong and there asking God to help them Continue to do wrong ..''One would make war rather than  let the nation survie''.. he was just saying instead of takeing the easy way out they rather fight but he did not want war.
