Lincoln's 2nd Inaugural

We'll start today with a review of some of the context that you read for today. Below are the terms and ideas you should know:

• 1864-Election Year
• v. McClellan
• Lincoln v. Radicals on reconstruction
• The capture of Atlanta (September 1864)
• William T. Sherman
• Total War
• "War is Hell"
• "War is cruelty, there is no use trying to reform it; the crueler it is, the sooner it will be over.”
• March to the Sea
• 13th Amendment (January 1865)
• 40 Acres and a Mule
• Lincoln's 2nd Inaugural (March 1865)

We'll read Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address and complete the corresponding chart.

• Pathos, Logos, Ethos handout

We'll then work to take a more creative look at the speech. You'll work with your chosen partner to crate a pair of haiku - one about how Lincoln interprets what brought the country to the moment of this inauguration, and another about what Lincoln suggests moving forward. Remember, a haiku is three lines - the first one has 5 syllables, the second has 7, and the third one has 5.
