A. Lincoln invoked the principles of human equality espoused by the Declaration of Independence and redefined the Civil War as a struggle not merely for the Union, but as "a new birth of freedom" that would bring true equality to all of its citizens.

What did Abraham lincoln mean in his second inaugural address?

A. This part of the third paragraph refers to "parties" -- those seeking to save the Union and those seeking to dissolve it (i.e. Secession politicians and state groups) Neither the Federal government's proponents nor the "insurgents" (as Lincoln put them) had a clear forecast that SLAVERY (the cause as he put it at the top of the third paragraph) would be halted before a surrender and the end of military fighting and occupation of rural and urban locales by Union troops. . .

Abraham Lincoln and his most significant contribution?
Q. What would you say is Abraham Lincoln's most significant contribution? I've narrowed it down to three choices... 1) Keeping the Union together during and after the Civil War 2) Making great efforts to end slavery. (Although he didn't) 3) The Gettysburg Address? And please don't try to prove that he didn't do any of these things, or why he shouldn't be considered a great historical figure, because I think he is, and all I'm doing this for is a project :) thanks!

A. The Gettysburg Address. In his Gettysburg Address Lincoln redefined the American nation, arguing that it was born not in 1789 but in 1776, "conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." He declared that the sacrifices of battle had rededicated the nation to the propositions of democracy and equality, "that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." By emphasizing the centrality of the nation, he rebuffed the claims of state sovereignty. While some critics say Lincoln moved too far and too fast, they agree that he dedicated the nation to values that marked "a new founding of the nation

There were issues that the South was concerned about that developed an un-necessary division between the North and the South: 1) The South wanted to buy manufactured goods from Europe if they choose to do so. The North wanted to promote "Made in the USA". 2) The North wanted to tax imported goods, the South did not. 3) The South realized the the North would have most of the money and most of the population and therefore would dictate to the South how the USA would be run. There was no escape from this. 4) The slavery issue was there but in my opinion was not the "end all"… [cont.]
