Best Answer

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 Union win at Gettysburg, which ended Confederate domination of the Eastern theatre.

Together with the simultaneous Union win at Vicksburg, this was the clearest portent of eventual Union victory.

It gave Lincoln the confidence to declare that slavery was dead.
