  4. Lincoln’s First Inaugural Address (March 4, 1861) • …In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow-countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war. The Government will not assail you. You can have no conflict without being yourselves the aggressors. You have no oath registered in heaven to destroy the Government, while I shall have the most solemn one to "preserve, protect, and defend it." • I am loath to close. We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.

  14. The Gettysburg AddressNovember 19, 1863http://10.120.2.41/SAFARI/montage/play.php?frompage=play&keyindex=118815&location=005849&chapterskeyindex=385218&sceneclipskeyindex=-1 • Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. • Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. • But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate--we can not consecrate--we can not hallow--this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain--that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom--and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

  15. 1864: Total Warhttp://10.120.2.41/SAFARI/montage/play.php?frompage=play&keyindex=118839&location=005849&chapterskeyindex=385379&sceneclipskeyindex=-1 General William Tecumseh Sherman (pictured above) While Sherman campaigned in the West; Grant pushed south towards Richmond in a series of deadly battles with Lee’s army

  16. Lincoln’s Second Inaugural Address (March 4, 1865) • Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." • 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.

  17. The End: 1865http://10.120.2.41/SAFARI/montage/play.php?frompage=play&keyindex=118839&location=005849&chapterskeyindex=385382&sceneclipskeyindex=-1 Richmond in ruins (April 1865) General Lee surrenders to Grant at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865
