In the begining he says there is not much news, and that the progress of the war is already public info. He states that his first adress was for saving the nation without war, but now war has come because the south would rather make war than save the nation, and the north would accept war rather than let the nation die. He then says that slavery led to the war, and that the war to date has surpassed the expectations for both sides. He contemplates how each side has prayed to god for assistance. Also how he thinks that the lord has his own plan for the exact justice for the hundreds of years of bondage that the slaves have been made to suffer. He finishes with the resolution to complete the war, rapair the US, care for the injured, and to widows and orphans, and "...do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace..."
Winston churchill was famous for his speeches during WWII
