LAD #15: Gettysburg Address

Four Score and Seven Years Ago... what happened?
  • meant to reinvigorate the North’s devotion to the war effort after a hard-earned victory at the Battle of Gettysburg
  • Said that not only do the living need to dedicate themselves to the nation, but they also need to dedicate themselves to the cause for which men died
    • wants to make sure that those men do not die for nothing
  • Ends by saying he will make sure that the nation is restored to "freedom, government by the people, for the people shall not perish from the Earth."
