Answer:

What does Lincoln wish to do through this final

sentence of the speech?

With malice toward none, with charity for all, with

firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, 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.

-Second inaugural address,

Abraham Lincoln

leave the listener feeling sad and hopeless

cause the listener to feel angry about the length of

the unwinnable war

stir up emotions about the lives lost in the war and

encourage the listener to help end it

make the listener blame the South for the ongoing

violence
