Answer 2

When President Lincoln says "Let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations" he is signalling that his speech is about to be wrapped up. He urges his listeners to finish what they started, by caring for the war-wounded and those whom war has left bereft. His words, "a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations" refer to a vision for the future.
