The Gettysburg Address
- Arguably the most important speech in American history
- President Lincoln gave the speech on the battlefield of Gettysburg
- the battleground is an extremely powerful place because so many Americans fought each other and died or were wounded here
- Abe Lincoln used this to his advantage by bringing people together and delivering a speech that shows the true strength of having their democracy
- in a sense the speech is the Battle of Gettysburg's legacy
"government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." - Abe Lincoln
