Quote
[last lines, from Second Inaugural speech]
Abraham Lincoln:
Fondly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether." With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.

by the bondman's 250 years

of unrequited toil shall be sunk
00:00:29.278 --> 00:00:33.365
and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash
00:00:33.449 --> 00:00:37.118
shall be paid by another drawn with the sword
00:00:38.412 --> 00:00:40.789
as was said 3 000 years ago
00:00:40.873 --> 00:00:43.998
so still it must be said
00:00:43.096 --> 00:00:45.794
The judgments of the Lord
