<em>The purpose of this passage of President's Lincoln Second Inaugural Address was to explain that his attention and energy is still focused on the war.</em>
The Second Inaugural Address of President Abraham Lincoln was held on March 4, 1865. He shared his project to heal the nation's wound and unite the United States that were divided by the Civil War. Lincoln did not send a message of happiness because the time was sad for the US. But he had hope for the things to come. Unfortunately, he was assassinated 40 years after his second inauguration address.

Based on the given statement above, I can say that the type of comparison that is being shown is a SIMILE. A simile is a literary technique that compares two unlike objects with the use of the words "like" or "as...as". Apparently, this uses "as...as" in comparing "they" and "bark of a tree". Hope this helps.
