Gettyburg Address

The Gettysburg Battle started over shoes. The confederate army needed shoes but when sent to get them they encountered Union Soldiers.
-July 1-3, 1863
the union won
President Lincoln gave speech in remembrance of the soldiers lost.

3. I think that Lincoln was a very noble man. He was respected in everything he did and was able to bring many people together.
-In his speech he says that everyone will come together and that the nation will have a new birth. He brings hop to the people.
-He remembers the soldiers lost in the Battle of Gettysburg, he dedicates this speech and the resting place to them.
-He tells the people that they need to be as dedicated to the cause of making this county better just as the soldiers were at fighting for their side.
-He visions the nation as being born again, he says that it will be governed by the people, by the people and for the people.
