March 4, 1865, Lincoln delivered his second Inaugural Address.
“With malice toward none; with charity for all; with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation’s wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow, and his orphan—to do all which may achieve and cherish a just, and a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.”Sorry, I wanted to include a video, but I searched YouTube and couldn't find one, so I had to go with this crappy B&W pic.
