Wednesday- Regular Classes Have out your worksheet from
yesterday or your tickets analyze Abraham Lincoln's ideas about
liberty, equality, union, and government as contained in his first
and second inaugural addresses and the Gettysburg address
Slide 18
1 st Inaugural Address- March 4, 1861 I have no purpose,
directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of
slavery in the States where it exists. I believe I have no lawful
right to do so, and I have no inclination to do so. Those
whoelected me did so with full knowledge
Slide 19
1 st Inaugural Address- March 4, 1861 One section of our
country believes slavery is right and ought to be extended This is
the only substantial dispute. This, I think, can not be perfectly
cured, and it would be worse in both cases after the separation of
the sections than before Physically speaking, we can not separate.
We can not remove our respective sections from each other nor build
an impassable wall between them
Slide 20
1 st 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."
Slide 21
1 st Inaugural Address- March 4, 1861 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.
Slide 22
2 nd Inaugural Address- March 4, 1865 four years ago all
thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All
dreaded it, all sought to avert it. While the inaugural address was
being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the
Union without war, insurgent agents were in the city seeking to
destroy it without war--seeking to dissolve the Union and divide
effects by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war, but one of
them would make war rather than let the nation survive, and the
other would accept war rather than let it perish, and the war
came.inaugural address
Slide 23
Wednesday- Pre-AP Classes Have out your graphic organizer from
yesterday or your tickets. Todays Task: analyze Abraham Lincoln's
ideas about liberty, equality, union, and government as contained
in his first and second inaugural addresses and the Gettysburg
address
Slide 24
2 nd Inaugural Address- March 4, 1865
http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/lincoln2.asp At this second
appearing to take the oath of the Presidential office there is less
occasion for an extended address than there was at the first. Then
a statement somewhat in detail of a course to be pursued seemed
fitting and proper. Now, with the great contest which still absorbs
the attention and engrosses the energies of the nation, little that
is new could be presented.oath four years ago all thoughts were
anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it, all
sought to avert it. While the inaugural address was being delivered
from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without
war, insurgent agents were in the city seeking to destroy it
without war--seeking to dissolve the Union and divide effects by
negotiation. Both parties deprecated war, but one of them would
make war rather than let the nation survive, and the other would
accept war rather than let it perish, and the war came.inaugural

Slide 25
2 nd Inaugural Address- March 4, 1865
http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/lincoln2.asp One-eighth of
the whole population were colored slaves, not distributed generally
over the Union, but localized in the southern part of it. These
slaves constituted a peculiar and powerful interest. All knew that
this interest was somehow the cause of the war. To strengthen,
perpetuate, and extend this interest was the object for which the
insurgents would rend the Union even by war, while the Government
claimed no right to do more than to restrict the territorial
enlargement of it.
Slide 26
2 nd Inaugural Address- March 4, 1865
http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/lincoln2.asp Neither party
expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has
already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the
conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should
cease. Both read the 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 a just God's assistance in wringing their bread
from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we
be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered. That of
neither has been answered fully. The Almighty has His own
purposes.
Slide 27
2 nd Inaugural Address- March 4, 1865
http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/lincoln2.asp "Woe unto the
world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come,
but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh." [Luke 17/ Matthew
18] If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those
offenses which He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both
North and South this terrible war as the woe due, shall we discern
therein any departure from those divine attributes which the
believers in a living God always ascribe to Him?
Slide 28
2 nd Inaugural Address- March 4, 1865
http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/lincoln2.asp 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 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. [Psalm
19:9]
Slide 29
2 nd Inaugural Address- March 4, 1865
http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/lincoln2.asp With malice
[hatred] 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.
