He gave his first Inaugural speech on March 4, 1861 and his second Inaugural speech on March 4, 1865.
In speaking about the second inaugural, it shall be assumed that the question refers to the second inaugural speech given by President Abraham in March of 1865. He had won the presidential election in November of 1864. His opponent was Democrat George B. McClellan. Lincoln's address was the 2nd shortest in presidential history. It is remembered for that but, more importantly because in the speech he blamed both the North and the South for the tragic war each of them had created. He disappointed Radical Republicans because Lincoln did not, as they wished, describe all the ways the South would be punished.
William Henry Harrison gave the longest inaugural address with 8,445 words. George Washington's second inauguration speech (in 1793) was the shortest one in US history- just 135 words.
