For this activity you will answer one analysis question: 1 The North was on the verge of victory prior to Lincoln's 2nd Inaugural address. He choose words and analogies that are humble; he does not brag about victory nor blame one side.
Why would he want to avoid blaming either side?
(Nint Look at the types of words, like BOTH, that Lincoln chooses when discussing the diferent sides. Why would he include both sides now, at the end of the wal?)
