Select the correct text in the passage. Which claim in President Lincoln's speech lacks sufficient support?
excerpt from President Abraham Lincoln's Second Inaugural Address
At this second appearing to take the oath of the presidential office, there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first.
Then a statement, somewhat in detail, of a course to be pursued, seemed fitting and proper. Now, at the expiration of four years, during which
public declarations have been constantly called forth on every point and phase of the great contest which still absorbs the attention, and
engrosses the energies of the nation, little that is new could be presented. The progress of our arms, upon which all else chiefly depends, is as
well known to the public as to myself; and it is, I trust, reasonably satisfactory and encouraging to all. With high hope for the future, no
prediction in regard to it is ventured.
On the occasion corresponding to this four years ago, all thoughts were anxiously directed to an impending civil war. All dreaded it--all sought to
avert it. While the inaugural address was being delivered from this place, devoted altogether to saving the Union without war, insurgent agents
were in the city seeking to destroy it without war - seeking to dissolve the Union and divide effects, by negotiation. Both parties deprecated war,
but one of them would make war rather than let the nation survive; and the other would accept war rather than let it perish. And the war came.
