PRESIDENT LINCOLN’S SECOND INAUGURAL ADDRESS 3. According to the text, how does the difference of four years (between inaugural [RI.3] speeches) alter the context of the speeches?

A. The first speech was longer, as the people needed explanation as they anxiously entered war, but the second, in light of the casualties of war, is briefer and more solemn. B. The second speech is far more triumphant than the first, which was given in an uncertain time at the beginning of the war. C. The second speech is more emotional and filled with more hatred towards the Confederacy, which the Union has almost defeated. D. The first speech was longer as President Lincoln praised the strength of the Union, whereas in the second speech the Union is no longer so intimidating.
