Abraham Lincoln's last speech, delivered on April 11, 1865, advocated for reconciliation and the extension of voting rights to Black Americans. It was received with mixed reactions; while some in the audience supported his vision, others were uncomfortable with his proposals. Just days later, on April 14, Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth, making this speech a poignant reflection of his hopes for post-Civil War America. The speech ultimately highlighted his commitment to unity and equality, which were cut short by his tragic death.
