Lincoln's second inaugural address focuses more on the moral problems with slavery than he ever has before. He also almost appeals to the people as the ware being backward, with both sides incurring the wrath of the same god on the other. Lincoln saw this as wrong, but not as wrong as the South was for being instigators of the war, and being the reason for it. He was them as a wound, and a large wound that needed to be cleaned and bond back onto the Union. It was particularly apparent that he wanted to end the war, but add another moral facet to it.
