Delivered on March 4, 1865, Abraham Lincoln's second inaugural address was given on the East Portico of the U.S. Capitol as the Civil War neared its end. Unlike the typical ceremonial speech of the day, it was brief, about 700 words, and offered no triumphal boasts about the war's outcome. Instead, Lincoln reflected on how both the North and the South read the same Bible and prayed to the same God, and he closed with the words "with malice toward none, with charity for all." The speech is now counted among the most famous in American history, and it was cut short by Lincoln's assassination about six weeks later.
