LAD/Blog #16: Lincoln's Gettysburg Address

Lincoln's Gettysburg Address

       
          Four score and seven years ago, the founding fathers created a new nation, independent from the oppressive Great Britain. This new nation was unified under one Constitution and the belief that all men were created equal. The Civil War was only a way to test American dedication and determination to remaining whole. They stood on a great battlefield, where many men laid down their lives to keep the nation together. It was in Gettysburg that they stood and remembered those men, whose lives should not have been lost in vain.

The National Cemetery at Gettysburg was the site

of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. The cemetery was created

to honor the fallen soldiers, just like Lincoln did on that day.
