4th March 1865 in Washington DC on the eve of the victory of the war between the states as Abraham Lincoln addresses the people at his second inauguration just forty days before his death. 

"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the fight 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 whom shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations."
