I don't think that it is a run-on because it only states one fact. It just looks long because of the titles and adjectives

It is not a run on sentence. Also the length has nothing to do with run on sentences
Comma splices make up a run on sentence

When you have two Independent clauses joined by a comma, it is a run on/ comma splice.
When you have an Independent and a dependent clause joined by a comma, it is a run-on.

When you have a dependent and an Independent clause joined by a comma, it is Not a run-on. The sentence you showed has a dependent and an Independent joined by a comma.


The dependent clause

On March 4, 1865 in Washington D.C.,

The Independent clause

President Lincoln addresses the country with his famous inaugural address to encourage the American people to create unity and a “just and lasting peace” throughout the nation.
