Civil War American National Cemeteries
That as a part of the people ho loved so well, we deeply mourn the assassination of the able, faithful, pure, and patriotic President, whose martyrdom crowns with glory the many sacrifices offered upon the shrine of a restored nationality, _and we utterly condemn the fiendish malignity and complicity of rebel leaders, which, culminating in Presidential assassination, forever consigns the great southern rebellion and its abettors to lasting infamy.
"Resolved, That to Abraham Lincoln's native good sense, shrewd sagacity, exalted humanity, unswerving integrity, his rare combination of fixedness with pliancy, simplicity of manner and purity of purpose, based upon an unshaken faith in the ultimate triumph of truth and right, upheld by loyal arms, are we indebted for the suppression of the rebellion and the deliverance of the nation.
