LAD #13: Gettysburg Address

In His Gettysburg Address, Lincoln commemorates all of the good Americans that died in the battle. He stated that "Fourscore ans Seven Years ago" the country had been established. However, it was now engulfed in civil war due to disputes over slavery, economics, and the tariff. Sectionalism had grown and the South seceded from the North. Lincoln commemorated the heroes and stated that their actions would be remembered more than his speech. He blessed the soldiers in their final resting place.
