Answer:

The answer is option A.

Explanation:

In his second Inaugural Address, President Lincoln had contended finally against withdrawal and asked Americans both North and South to stay devoted to the Union. The curtness and dismal tone of his Second Inaugural Address uncovers the impacts of four years of obliterating war on America's spirit and Lincoln's heart.The discourse contained neither bragging nor celebrating. Or maybe, it offered Lincoln's most significant reflections on the causes and importance of the war. The "scourge of war," he clarified, was best comprehended as awesome discipline for the wrongdoing of bondage, a transgression in which all Americans, North and in addition South, were complicit.The topic/focal thought of this content/discourse is subjection. Abraham Lincoln branches into various clashes with bondage, for example, how it shouldn't spread toward the north. The fundamental thought is the manner by which servitude caused the common war.
