Answer:
The phrase “sweat of other men’s faces” is an illusion and he refers to the slavery of people during that time and how people control others to complete the work.
Explanation:
Abraham Lincoln gave his second inaugural address on March 4, 1865, when he was the President of the US. At that time slavery in all over the Union come to an end, Lincoln did not speak of happiness, but of sadness. He finds a way to avoid harsh treatment of the defeated South by advising his listeners of how slavery had affected them when the war started. Lincoln does not want to celebrate his victory, but he advises his listeners about the dangerous slavery.
