I chose this (C)

D) By using words like “insurgent agent,” Lincoln suggests that sources outside of the country are to blame for dividing the nation.

I chose answer C

I would say that your answer is correct. Lincoln's word choice affects the meaning of the speech by using words like "all", and "both". He tries to avoid placing blame on or showing favoritism toward one side of the conflict or another. The correct answer is, in fact, C.

Explanation:

By reading this excerpt from the Lincoln's speech, the audience can not tell whether he is on one side or the other. He doesn't seem to support any party in particular, he maintain himself out of the conflict and exposes the facts without taking any side. In the last sentence he makes it very clear that neither of the parties wanted war as a first option, but both were capable of accepting it for what they thought was a greater good.
