LAD #13 Lincoln's Gettsburg Address

Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address is possibly his most famous speech. In the midst of civil war President Lincoln gave this speech to his nation. He spoke that our nation of liberty was now engaged in great civil war that would test the strength of America. Many people were dead amongst them, people who have fought to keep this great nation together. To the rest of the soldiers, Lincoln made it clear that they must not let them die in vain; they must fight to save the Union. Lincoln told them that their actions would be remembered forever, they need to keep the nation that their forefathers fought so hard to create. Winning this war will give this nation a new birth and it ‘shall not perish from this earth.’ This speech is inscribed within the Lincoln Memorial across the left wall.
