Read this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, delivered on April 10, 1865.

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 a lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.

Which sentence correctly uses Lincoln's ideas and avoids plagiarism?

He called upon all Americans to "bind up the nation's wounds" in order to achieve peace in the nation after the Civil War (Lincoln).
