And There Was Light: Abraham Lincoln and the American Struggle by Jon Meacham

5.0

"We are not enemies, but friends," Lincoln wrote in his dear hand on a printed copy of the address. "We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection. The mystic chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield, and patriot grave, to every living heart and hearthstone, all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature."
-Abraham Lincoln, 1861 inaugural address
