LAD #15- Lincoln's Gettysburg Address

Summarize the Gettysburg Address:

In President Abe Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, his main discussion topic is in regards to the Civil War that broke out after the Battle of Gettysburg. He starts his address by explaining how the nation was created and the principles it was founded on, such as equality. Then, he acknowledges that the Civil War is a very difficult challenge and sets a high amount of internal tension, too much for a nation to endure. After that, he gives recognition to all of the soldiers that have fought in the war, but specifically those at Gettysburg. He claims that what he says about the soldiers doesn't matter or have any significance, but admits that what the soldiers did was of great importance, and had direct impacts and significance on history. He continues in declaring that the soldiers must not have died in vein, and makes it known that the people living now need fill the necessary roles of those who died and keep up the fight that they had started. To wrap it up, he claims that and that by doing so, and having people step up to fill the shoes of the deceased soldiers, the nation will once again practice equality for all and freedom as well. 

This is a picture of the Declaration of Independence, where we broke off from Britain's rule, which previously depressed our rights and liberties.
