President Lincoln proclaimed his motto "with malice toward none, with charity for all" in his second inaugural address. He was also known to evoke the mantra of "Union, Union, Union".
Abraham Lincoln is the person that said that
The statement shows Lincoln's attitude towards the rebel Southern states. Unlike some of the other people in the government, Lincoln did not want to punish the South but rather to get them back in the Union as painlessly as possible.
In President Lincoln's second inaugural address, he surprised many people and angered the radical wing of the Republican Party by not promising to punish the Confederate states. Lincoln was wise enough to understand that if the Union was to be reunited correctly and fairly, kindness and understanding would be required. He recognized that southerners were fellow American citizens.
The word "malice" means the act of evil upon another person or creature. Charity means helping and teaming up together in unity. So the quote by Abraham Lincoln mean having no evil upon anyone and help towards everyone.

With malice toward none, with charity for all . . .apex= It was crucified on a cross of gold.
By the use of this term, in the context of Lincoln's second inaugural speech in 1865, the phrase containing "malice towards none" reads as follows: With malice towards none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right...... Here Lincoln sets forth to blame no one as the "sinner" for the war. He blames not the South nor the North. Or, it can be said that he believed each of the parties to the war have equal blame.
"With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan - to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations." Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address, March 4, 1865.
