French students have some questions

[Gene C]

Getting back to the students second question.

Attached is a link to the last major speach President Lincoln gave, a little over a month before he was killed. It is a short speach. The language is a bit difficult to follow, but read through it and you can tell where President Lincoln's heart and goals are. It was not a popular speach at the time. The north may have won the war, but there were still bitter feelings between the north and the south.

If Abraham Lincoln really meant what he said in this speach, what do you think about him?
