Question by : What does ‘mystic’ and ‘better’ mean in this sentence?
I can’t understand at all what ‘mystic’ and ‘better’ means in the sentence below.
I am sorry to ask you about the long sentence.

The ‘mystic’ chords of memory, stretching from every battlefield and patriot grave to every living heart
and hearthstone all over this broad land, will yet swell the chorus of the Union, when again touched,
as surely they will be, by the ‘better’ angels of our nature.
