President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. November 19, 1863
On the afternoon of Thursday, November 18, 1863, 16th U.S. President Abraham Lincoln [February 12, 1809-April 15, 1865] gave the Gettysburg Address. He was participating in the dedication ceremonies for the Soldiers' National Cemetery at the Pennsylvania town of the same name. On July 1-3 of that same year, the town had been the scene of an important Union victory over the Confederate forces during the War between the States.
Lincoln delivered his speech in Pennsylvania, on the Gettysburg Battle field.
President Lincoln spoke about the Gettysburg address for two minutes. The Gettysburg address was a speech written to address the Union's war effort and to solidify support in the state of Pennsylvania.
he stated that america was friggin awesome
The address of the Abraham Lincoln Association is: Old State Capitol, Springfield, IL 62701
He didn't say that in a debate, but in the Gettysburg Address. It is probably one of the greatest speeches any president has given.
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.
Normally it is referred to as the "State of the Union address." The word "address" does not just mean the street you live on; it's also a word referring to a formal speech given to a specific audience-- you may have heard, for example, of Abraham Lincoln's famous speech, the Gettysburg Address.
The Lincoln Memorial features a large seated statue of Abraham Lincoln, but it also includes inscriptions of two of his well-known speeches: the Gettysburg Address and his Second Inaugural Address. Additionally, the memorial is adorned with 36 columns, each representing a state in the Union at the time of Lincoln's death. However, there are no other faces depicted; the focus remains on Lincoln himself.
Of the five known manuscript copies of the Gettysburg Address, the Library of Congress has two. President Lincoln gave one of these to each of his two private secretaries, John Nicolay and John Hay. The other three copies of the Address were written by Lincoln for charitable purposes well after November 19. The copy for Edward Everett, the orator who spoke at Gettysburg for two hours prior to Lincoln, is at the Illinois State Historical Library in Springfield; the Bancroft copy, requested by historian George Bancroft, is at Cornell University in New York; the Bliss copy was made for Colonel Alexander Bliss, Bancroft's stepson, and is now in the Lincoln Room of the White House.
