Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
To start Abe Lincoln wrote his famous Gettysburg Address on his train ride to the battlefield. As we know now the battle of Gettysburg is considered the turning point of the war. Up until that point the CSA had been winning the battles, then they were pushing north. This battle is still the bloodiest battle in all American history, Americans fighting their brothers. Lincoln starts his address talking about the foundation which the United States had been founded. then continues to commemorate the fact that the war was fought on the hollow grand that they were standing on. The men that died at Gettysburg will never be forgotten, and what they were fighting for would never be forgotten. Regardless of the fact that their job had not been finished but they had given the greatest sacrifice, and that they would never be forgotten.
