Explanation:

The Gettysburg Address focused on the significance of the Civil War and the nation's dedication to the cause of equality, while Lincoln's second inaugural address emphasized the need to end slavery as a key part of resolving the war and healing the nation. Option B is incorrect as celebrating dead soldiers was more the focus of the Gettysburg Address. Option C is wrong because the second inaugural was about reconciliation and ending slavery, not defeating the South. Option D is incorrect as recruiting soldiers was not the focus of the second inaugural. Only option A aligns with the content of the second inaugural address.

Answer:

A. In the second inaugural address, ending slavery is the focus.
