EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the moment of Abraham Lincoln's second inauguration as the President of the United States, which took place on March 4, 1865, at the Capitol Building in Washington D.C. Following his re-election in November 1864, Lincoln defeated Democrat George B. McClellan with an impressive 55% of the popular votes. The inauguration was a significant event in American history, as the country was in the midst of the Civil War, and Lincoln's leadership was crucial in bringing the nation through this tumultuous period. In the image, Lincoln stands confidently on the inaugural platform, with his left hand resting on the Bible held by Vice President Hannibal Hamlin. Surrounded by a large crowd of onlookers, Lincoln delivers his second inaugural address, which is considered one of the most eloquent speeches in American history. The speech emphasized the importance of unity and healing the wounds of the nation, as well as the need to end the Civil War and ensure freedom for all Americans. The inauguration was a symbol of hope and unity for a divided nation, and Lincoln's words continue to resonate today as a reminder of the power of perseverance and the importance of coming together in times of adversity. This photograph is a testament to an important moment in American history and a reminder of the enduring legacy of Abraham Lincoln.
