Lincoln's speeches, particularly the Gettysburg Address and others during the Civil War, often correlate with themes surrounding the preservation of the Union and the dedication to the principles of democracy and equality.
If you are referring to a specific speech, it would help to know which one. However, generally speaking:
- A) The war beginning: Lincoln's speeches at the onset of the war emphasized the importance of preserving the Union.
- B) The Union splitting: Lincoln's speeches often addressed the division caused by the secession of Southern states.
- C) The war ending: Later speeches addressed the need for reconciliation and healing after the conflict.
- D) The war restarting: This is less common, as Lincoln's speeches were more focused on resolution and unity.
If I had to choose one option that encapsulates Lincoln's speech most broadly during the Civil War, I would lean towards C) The war ending, particularly in reference to his vision for reconciliation after the conflict.
