Analysis Before entering his second presidential election‚ Abraham Lincoln addressed a war torn nation to persuade the North and South to come back together‚ while regarding the South’s fault.

His reassuring tone alone with parallelism‚ biblical allusions and personification allow him to help unify the divided country and chastise the South.
