Keira Anderson- Lincolns speech was extremely powerful. He stated how he wanted to forgive and forget but after such a huge war that made a huge impact on the nation, it was almost impossible for that to happen. Lincolns speech left many people speechless, and shocked.

Lincoln was strong into forgiven and being forgetful towards others wrong doings. He believed to move forward and be the bigger person to resolve or unwind past conflicts. As he wanted to rebuild the South and work to create peace which is a big factor in life. - isabel ricardo

Lincoln was very smart but also very naive and cared way to much it was as if the soldiers were his own chidren and cared very much about what happened even to the ones who he didn't know he always cared about everybody who just cared enough about him to hate him

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Lincoln thought that the former confederacy should be forgiven and that they should help fix them because they were kind of responsible for destroying everything.  Even though the South wanted to leave it takes two to cause a war.  And it was the most the North could do, the south lost everything and they are getting some of their life back -brianna kailas

# data[].attributes.body
I think Lincoln was naive because the north hated the south and Lincoln wanted the south and north  come together - Bella Boyle

# data[].attributes.body
I think Lincoln was naive mostly because he was not taking into account that not everybody understood what needed to be done in order for this country to move on like he did. He didn't take into full account all of the people that were grieving and angry and upset over all of their losses during the war. I think that he made the right choice for the country's progress and coming back together as one, however. -Marcelo Soto

if our country was one we would probable be still made at something that happened a long time a go

# data[].attributes.body
I agree. If we were split up to this day we would likely not be where we are as a country.

# data[].attributes.body
he also wanted the US to come together as one and this might play a part in why were are a great country today

# data[].attributes.body
he was trying to teach them that we are a nation and we need to move on and sort of start thing of the future

# data[].attributes.body
I agree with you guys. Good observations. Also why do you think Abraham wanted them to forgive and forget? What lesson was he trying to teach?

# data[].attributes.body
I think Lincoln wanted them to forgive and forget probably because he was thinking more about the future of our country. He most likely understand that one day we all die and that the emotional part will eventually not matter, however, the split between the country could last forever. He definitely understood that our country needed to work together and move forward as one.

# data[].attributes.body
but I could see how they forgave because being mad is not going to bring everything back

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Lincoln was too nieve because everyone in the North hated the South and everyone in the South hated the North. The fact that they would just come together like nothing happened is crazy. The people that are going to be part of your country were just your worst enemy. The idea of living in the same nation as the people who were just trying to kill your friends and family who were probably drafted is so hard to do.  -Colin Pflug

# data[].attributes.body
He was probably trying to teach people to not just look at the mistake the person did and fro give and forget-Bridget Smith

# data[].attributes.body
I think Lincoln wanted them to forgive and forget because he wanted the U.S. to come back together and teach the people in the North and South to be able to forgive

^^true, people couldn't forget about what happend.-Bridget Smith

Lincoln maybe thought that people didn't like what he said or they were speechless.-Bridget Smith

What did Lincoln think or feel when he was done with his speech and no one clapped for him?

# data[].attributes.body
I think that forgiving and forgetting was a very important part of the plan because if we didnt then the united states wouldnt be the same as it is now. We wouldnt even be a nation, we would be 2 nations.

i think that the president Abraham said forgiving and forgetting was very important because you should forgive someone if they did something to you and that what Abraham said during that speach

# data[].attributes.body
^^I agree about forgiving and forgetting because the things that were done were in the past ,so we must move on with our lives. We all say things we regret or do things we wish we hadn't. So we always that to think about forging and forgetting.-Bridget Smith

Jake Patel: because they wanted to stop slavery because they wanted every body to have freedom as people.

I inferred that through the article because he said faithfully and god several times

People had some hostility towards the south, so despite the fact that rebuilding was the right thing to do, they believed that the south should be punished.  They certainly weren't ready to forgive, let alone forget, but they didn't see that holding  grudge would only make things worse. ~Sammy Oberg-Flood

# data[].attributes.body
I think the forgiving and forgetting was really hard for some people which is why everyone was silent after he said that part of the speech, especially for the people from the North who most likely had hostility towards the South

I also agree with what Sophia said because their is no way you can feel the pain of when a loved one died unless it happened to you first hand. I wonder what Lincoln would have said in his speech if he let his son serve and he was killed in the war. -Della

# data[].attributes.body
If you think about it, the whole idea of war with reconstruction is extremely pointless. It's kind of like a game. Imagine going to war with someone and then, after destroying everything and everyone, helping them fix things. It just seems really dumb to want to fight someone because they might go against your morals or they are trying to go against you, and then after fighting them, wanting to help them. It's basically saying that the way to resolve things between two people or places it to destroy everything and hate each other and then immediately decide that everything is fine and fix everything that happened. ~Natalia Tevar

I agree with Sofia because not everybody will know how losing someone can affect you. -Litzy

Dylan C:  Another thing is that the south was probably mad at lincoln and just wanted to ignore him and just have deep hatrid toward him but we all have to learn to come together.
