1865

"The South finally surrendered. The job of healing the nation began. But Lincoln was not there to help. An assassin's bullet ended his life.
But his words were there to guide thsoe who chose to remember."

"It is for us the living, rather that we here highly resolved that these dead shall not have died in vain- that this nation, under God, 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."
