in Lincoln's gettys burgadress we hear him address the country in words of wisdom and encouragement. he reminds the people why the declaration was written, (All people are created equal) and in the midst of this civil war this was a reminder of what they were fighting for. the he mentions the people that have already laid down their lives on the battle field and says we as a country must never forget what they did and what they died for. For the living must finish what they started and we must remember the sacrifice that they made so that me might live in freedom and not in tyranny.
