As powerful as the Gettysburg address is, I think that Lincoln’s second inaugural address is the better speech.

You may be correct. While generally panned in the media when the Gettysburg Address was delivered I personally think it is the finest speech ever given by a President. Sometimes the greatest sentiments can be expressed in the fewest words.
