Answer :
Lincoln never blamed anyone for the conflict and was sorry for all deaths that had to happen to bring the conflict to a resolution is why the Address has had a long time effect. He never said an angry or vindictive word or professed any right or wrong other than that the United States should be one country.
Lincoln Maintained the attitude that the "house " was divided but it was still one "house".
When the war ended Lincoln had a plan already laid out for RECONSTRUCTION and not for conquering. The only stipulation he had for states rejoining the Union was that they had to sign a document that they would never hold any person as a slave. Otherwise everything they needed for rebuilding their state would have help from the Union. In Lincoln's mind there was never a North, only the Union of the states. He considered victory as the reuniting of the United States.
