This passage comes form Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address. In this speech, Lincoln is referencing the Civil War that was close to being over, and which caused a lot of difficulties and suffering to the people of the United States. In the speech, Lincoln encourages everyone to try to forget about the divisions created during the war and instead fight for a feeling of unity. By "binding up the nation's wounds," Lincoln wants to indicate that the best way to act is by not holding any anger or resentment towards people on the other side of the conflict.

What was the goal of the confederate forces? John brown
faust18 [17]

The goal of the Confederate forces was to obtain their independence from the North and continue using slavery.

During this time, the Southern states were focused on agriculture, while the Northern states were focused on industrialization. The South would have plantations where they would grow cash crops, such as indigo and tobacco. These cash crops would sell for a lot of money overseas, but they needed manpower in order to produce more. This is why they were so adamant about keeping slavery, which they felt the North would try to take away from them. With Abraham Lincoln winning the election, this only caused them to worry more.

This made the South secede, or rebel against the Union. They wanted to be independent from the Union and felt as if they were not being heard or listened to. They strongly believed that the Union, along with Abraham Lincoln, would try to abolish slavery, which would cause them to lose income.
