Due to lack of detail, no one can really answer that... in your dreams, he might though.
It's B. Past. The other ones don't really make sense.
Answer:
I believe the best answer to be letter D) With a request to the nation to focus on healing.
Explanation:
Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address is usually described as a speech advocating for the reconstruction of the United States once the Civil War was over. At the time, many were the critics who saw the president as too lenient in his treatment of the southern states. But Lincoln wanted to show "malice toward none" and "charity for all". He wanted the country to heal from the sickness of that war, which he claimed to be a divine punishment that had fallen upon them for the sin of slavery. If in order to heal he had to be lenient, then lenient he would be. In the passage provided, Lincoln makes it clear it is his intention to take care of all who were affected by the war - thus, it doesn't matter if it is the North or the South. He also states that justice and peace must be the goal. Taking all that into consideration, I believe the best option to be letter D) With a request to the nation to focus on healing.
