Lincoln delivered this second inaugural address on March 4, 1865, from the east portico of the U.S. Capitol, at the start of his second term while the Civil War was nearly over. The speech is short, roughly 700 words, and is best known for its closing lines, which call for "malice toward none" and "charity for all" as the nation worked toward healing. Lincoln had been reelected in November 1864, and the address reflects on the war's causes and the moral cost of slavery, a theme he framed as a shared responsibility of North and South alike. Its brevity and tone made it one of the most quoted American political speeches.
