-In commensalism of Abraham Lincoln, whom of which was assassinated
-Bell is the writer and narrator and it is in First Person Viewpoint, limited
- Bell speaks of the pain in losing the president who represented freedom
-even thought the president is dead, the narrator shows hopefulness in the end.

I think its also about the civil war. "One flag will wave" meaning that the narrator wants to avenge him by making the country whole again~ win the war against confederates

"One flag shall wave---and freedoms spirit, In peace and love o'ev all preside"


Themes: grief, nationalism, hope,
