On March 4, 1865, [[Abraham Lincoln]] would be inaugurated into a second term as President of the United States.  The [[American Civil War]] was nearly over, but much of the country was stained with the blood of the fallen, and Lincoln dearly wanted the affair to end, and the country reunited.  What he said in his Second Inaugural Speech is among the classics of American letters.

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.
