Explanation:

If we go through the answer choices one-by-one we'll see that

1.  A isn't the answer because the war wasn't a positive experience many people died. wives lost their husbands, children were orphaned, the losses were heavy.

2.  C isn't the correct answer because the war didn't happen a long time ago he presented the speech during the civil war and 4 months "after the Union armies defeated those of the Confederacy at the Battle of Gettysburg"

3. D isn't the the correct answer because he never insisted the war shouldn't have been fought and he doesn't blame anyone the speech actually talks about standing up and fighting for our rights
