Answer:

The topic of the paragraph is wartime and the theme is that those who choose to participate in war are selfish people who show very little compassion for human life.

Explanation:

The general starts the paragraph by saying he wanted an ideal animal to hunt, and upon further questioning by the speaker, reveals that the parameters he believes are ideal are that it is an animal that has courage, is cunning, and must be able to reason. As humans are the only animal that can reason, the general is basically stating that he treats human life just as a hunter treats its prey, to be killed for no reason other than sport. The author wants the reader to understand that those who make a conscious decision to become involved in wartime affairs functionally do so simply to kill others for enjoyment, as is shown by the general's reasoning for becoming a general.

On Saturday, March 4, 1865, during his second inauguration as President of the United States, Abraham Lincoln gave his second inaugural speech.
Lincoln spoke of melancholy rather than happiness at a time when the American Civil War's victory against secessionists was just days away and slavery in the entire country was about to come to an end.
Some see this speech as a defence of his pragmatic approach to Reconstruction, in which he wanted to avoid treating the defeated rebels harshly by pointing out to his audience how both sides had miscalculated what lied ahead of them when the conflict started four years prior.
Lincoln nevertheless struck a balance by acknowledging the glaring injustice of slavery in addition to his rejection of triumphalism.
