Lincoln’s Memorable Speech Lincoln delivered his second Inaugural Address on March 3, 1965 during the time of his second term as president of the United States.

He was a strong African American man who stood firm on his Christian beliefs and equality for all people.

In my opinion, Reverend Jones believed that God could use any situation and bring about a complete change when you allow him to be your teacher and guide.
