Lincoln's Tone

Lincoln created a tone of righteous indigence in his second inaugural address. In Paragraph three Lincoln shows that "one eighth of the population were colored slaves." The North (Union) wasn't happy that The South (Confederacy) had slaves to work their cheap labor crops. Lincoln's Tone of voice must have been strong and unhappy due to the fact of his choice of words. Lincoln used words like fervently, triumph, Almighty, strengthen, malice, and perpetuate. These Words express how Lincoln feels and how strongly an abolitionist he truly is. In this, The Civil War was truly over nothing but a disagreement and Lincoln"s tone in this address was just a strong felt tone such as righteous indignation.
