Excerpt from lincoln’s second inaugural address abraham lincoln neither party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with, or even before, the conflict itself should cease. each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. both read the same bible, and pray to the same god; and each invokes his aid against the other. it may seem strange that any men should dare to ask a just god’s assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men’s faces; but let us judge not, that we be not judged. the prayers of both could not be answered—that of neither has been answered fully. lincoln's repetition of pronouns such as "neither," "all," "both," "we", "us," and "each" shows the reader or listener that a) he knows that the audience is not well educated. b) he can correctly use the conventions of formal english. c) he is confident in the education levels of his audience. d) he wants to emphasize that the country's two opposing sides must become one.
