LAD #15 - Gettysburg Address

The Gettysburg Address is where the famous line “four score
and seven years ago" comes from.

The Gettysburg Address, given by President Lincoln, serves two purposes. The first is to thank and remember the soldiers who lost their lives fighting to preserve the union in the Civil War. Secondly, to address the importance of the cause. Lincoln understands that words alone cannot show how greatful the people of America are. Therefore, the living must give their utmost devotion from then on to the cause of preserving the union. The government was created by the people and for the people. It will continue to protect the rights of its citizens.
