What point of view does Abraham Lincoln express in this excerpt from his Second Inaugural Address? 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. All people should come together to heal the nation. Survivors should honor the dead by avenging their deaths. The nation should quickly move past the trauma of the war. The Confederacy should be punished for starting the war.
All people should come together to heal the nation.
Explanation:
The message of this address is for all Americans to thrive from the ashes of war with respect for one another. In other words, all citizens should work together to overcome the past in honor of those who fell in battle.
The phrase "to heal the nation" in the answer is best evidenced from the fragment "to bind up the nation's wounds", which is a metaphor for overcoming the past.
