In Abraham's speech, he convinced his listeners to his concerns by addressing them as "fellow countrymen" including him, making him part of the people and just the leader of the nation. His personality is evident in his speech, as  he is a modest and reasonable man, he has trust in his people that the war is something good that will come out off. He specifically wanted that "slavery" will no longer be allowed, because he believes that freedom should belong to every people. He wanted to restrict slavery to the point of taunting his enemies who believe that slavery should stay. "Ethos" is described as a moral character that Abraham's presents in his ending speech "with malice with no one" meaning that peace will somehow arrive in the nation even with the war going on the country.  Abraham is shown to be a man of peace and will not settle to have peace for any price just justice.

Answer:

    Abraham Lincoln would need to use ethos for his speech to allow himself to stand out as a credible leader for his country. Lincoln wants to get the point across the he knows what he's talking about. "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal". In this quote, Lincoln is trying to convince his credibility to the audience by showing he knows his history of the country. He is a huge believer in freedom and thinks that this should apply to everyone as the founding fathers stated. The man craves unity, liberty, and peace. He is in high hopes that the people will accept his credible nature and take to heart these original American values to pursue freedom for everyone. He knows if he is to make a point, he will have to cite a source.
