The Gettysburg Address


President Lincoln opens his Gettysburg address by thoroughly reminding the American people that the main goal and purpose of the United States is for equality and democracy. He then continues on saying that the United States is entangled in a horrible Civil War, with many men dying, dying and making American soil their final resting place. With much exuberance he exclaims that these men who have passed will not die in vain. Then he says that the world may not remember this speech, but the world will always remember the sacrifices these men made. In end he states that America "shall have a new birth of freedom", that our great nation will come out of this horrible war as a stronger more united nation.
