| | Lincoln\'s second inaugural address (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02) |
 | | '''Abraham Lincoln delivered his second inaugural address''', which was his favorite of all his speeches, on March 4, 1865, at the start of his second term as President of the United States. |
 | | Lincoln balanced that rejection of triumphalism, however, with a recognition of the unmistakeable evil of slavery, which he described in the most concrete terms possible. |
 | | It is inscribed, along with the Gettysburg Address, in the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. The address is the briefest inaugural address by any US President on record. |
