1. In the first paragraph above Lincoln is making the war against the Southern states a moral war. He thought, in order to preserve the Union, to even allow the dissenting states to keep the slavery if that meant not abandoning the Union. But now here he says that he was wrong and that he is fully committed to not only reuniting the United States but also to abolishing slavery.
2. Lincoln here identifies as the commander-in-chief to clearly state that he is in charge and he is making this proclamation with the full power vested in him by the constitution. He is also doing that with the aim of restoring the public spirit and showing people that everything is under control by being the pillar of stability. He with the power vested in him will appeal to congress and ask for the abolishment of slavery in all the states that are in open rebellion against the United States. That can be seen in this passage:
<span>
<em>That the executive will, on the first day of January aforesaid, by
proclamation, designate the States, and part of States, if any, in which
the people thereof respectively, shall then be in rebellion against the
United States</em></span><em> </em>

Each text example is matched to the different techniques below:
- He snores louder than a cargo train
Exaggeration/Hyerbole
- What must you do before you get off a bus? Get on it.
Humor
- The sign says to keep off the grass, but there is only dirt in the lot
Irony.
Explanation:
Exaggeration/Hyperbole: This is an obvious over-amplification of claims or events for added effect. It is usually not taken literally. This is used to pass across a message to show the severity or consequence of something.
An example is " I was so hungry, i could swallow a horse".
This does not mean that the person can literally swallow a horse but just to show the extent of the hunger.
Humor: Humor is the quality of being comical or amusing usually to elicit laughter.
The example above, "What must you do before you get off a bus> Get on it".
This uses humor to show that one must first be on a bus before he can think of getting off and the question is constructed in a funny way.
Irony: This is the expression of one's feelings through the use of words that signify the opposite of what is really meant, usually for emphasis.
