Response to second inaugural adress

I think that Lincoln's second Inaugural adress was a very great speech, and it had great Ideas for reconnciliation wiht the south after the war was won. It was also a great appeal to the religious side of people, which both southerners and northerners could understand, and it did not accuse the southerners exclusively of causing the war. The adress is very good at looking towards the future, but it seems to accept that the north and south would try to get along after the war. Perhaps it is a display of Lincoln's own good character that he believed the North and South could be so easily reconciled. I think overall the adress was good, but I bet that it bothered many of the southerners, who did not desire reconciliation.
