About this listen

Step back in time to witness the powerful words of Abraham Lincoln in his inaugural addresses. Delivered amidst the tense backdrop of a nation on the brink of Civil War, Lincolns first address on March 4th, 1861, sought to unite a divided country. His second address, delivered just weeks before his tragic assassination on March 4th, 1865, reflected on the turmoil of war and hope for healing. Just over a month later, the Civil War came to a close with the surrender of the Confederate army, mere days after Lincoln was shot. Join us as we explore the profound impact of these historic speeches. - Summary by John GreenmanCopyright Politics, Philosophy, Religion
