Gettysburg
Abraham Lincoln dedicated the Military Cemetery at Gettysburg in November 1863. It was the occasion for his Gettysburg Address.
The famous Gettysburg Address, delivered by President Abraham Lincoln on the 19th of November in 1863, was caused primarily by a Union victory that had taken place a few months prior in the same town. In July of 1863, Union troops had fought against an invading Confederate army -- and won. Lincoln's speech was in honor of those troops and that victory.
The speech was the Gettysburg address, which Lincoln gave in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
On April 15, 1861 President Lincoln declared a "state of insurrection." The US Civil War, like the Vietnam War was not a declared war. After his declaration he set out a call-up for men to man his armies.
