PRESIDENT LINCOLN’S SECOND INAUGURAL ADDRESS. What distinction does President Lincoln make in paragraph 3 about both sides of the [RI.3] war?

A. Lincoln argues that the Union wanted to avoid war all together, while the Confederacy wanted nothing more than to fight. B. Lincoln acknowledges that the Union was the first to declare war in order to maintain the United States and that, perhaps, they should have let the Confederacy peacefully secede. C. Lincoln emphasizes the fault of the Confederacy for seeking to destroy the larger union, with all states united, but does not condemn them as blood-thirsty. D. Lincoln stresses the idea that neither side actively sought war; their motivations may have been different, but neither party wanted to declare war if negotiation was possible.
