Best Answer

President Lincoln meant the great task was winning the war and to bind the nation's wounds and to bring the rebelling states back into the Union. Lincoln knew this would not be easy. He saw first hand the terrible results of the Battle of Gettysburg. Healing wounds after a terrible Souther loss there would not be easy. He, however, was up to the task.
