According to Lincoln in his "Second Inaugural Address," what issue occupied people's thoughts and attention at the time of his first Inaugural Address? A. a possible civil war B. Lincoln's recent election C. God's will regarding slavery D. the outcome of the Civil War

Option A

Explanation:

The First inaugural address was delivered on Monday, March 4, 1861, as part of his taking of the oath of office for his first term as the President of the United States in which he was asking for the preservation of the Union during a perilous time, he called for compromise from both his supporter in the NORTH and without further alienating the South but making his point known (“In your hands, my dissatisfied fellow countrymen, and not in mine, is the momentous issue of civil war)He likewise declared secession to be wrong ;promised not to interfere with the institution of slavery where it existed.

However,Abraham Lincoln has a dispassionate for slavery,rejecting the South's defense of slavery; this stand eventually lead to the outbreak of the American Civil War.

At the time of Lincoln’s second inaugural address, the civil war is also most coming to an end and the Union’s victory over the South was imminent. Because of this the second speech was based on resolution,also reaffirming a faith in God's will and healing a once-divided nation
