Lincoln's second inaugural, delivered from the East Portico of the U.S. Capitol on March 4, 1865, was far shorter than most such addresses, running only about 700 words. With the Civil War nearly over, he spoke less of victory than of the shared guilt and suffering the conflict had brought, urging the nation to finish its work "with malice toward none, with charity for all." Six weeks later he was assassinated, which gave the speech a sorrowful weight it could not have had at the time. Frederick Douglass was among those who attended the ceremony.
