lincoln's second inagural adress

lincoln does give a tone of righteous indignation in his speech, he explained his reasoning and his actions. one of the things he says is "both parties deprecated war; but one of them would rather make war then let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish''. this statement in simple word means that one party would rather destroy the government rather than to let them have it their way, and the other party would choose war rather than destroy the problem. lincoln feels that there were better ways to end the problem rather than just to start war were lots of people get killed. Another thing he said was "Both read the same bible and pray to the same God; and each invokes his aid against each other. what he is saying is that they pray to the same God and read the same bible but the pray to god the help destroy one another. He says this is a wrong thing to do because God will not help people harm people each other. Lincoln shows taghteous indignation because he tried to tell the people to do right things.
