What does Lincoln wish to do through this final sentence of the speech?
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 lasting peace among
ourselves and with all nations.
-Second inaugural address,
Abraham Lincoln
O leave the listener feeling sad and hopeless
O cause the listener to feel angry about the length of
the unwinnable war
O stir up emotions about the lives lost in the war and
encourage the listener to help end it
O make the listener blame the South for the ongoing
violence
