Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address was delivered by the then President in March 1865. At a time when triumph over secessionists in the American Civil War was within days and enslavement in all of the U.S. was near an end, Lincoln did not speak of happiness, but of sadness. Excerpt: "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."
