The connection is that Lincoln began his Gettysburg Address in 1863 with the words: "Fourscore and nineteen years ago". The preceeding answer is INCORRECT. Do the math: 1863 minus 1776 equals 87 (fourscore and seven). Look at the Gettysburg Address and READ the first sentence. You will se it starts: "Fourscore and SEVEN years ago"....
He passed the Emancipatipation Proclamation that helped free slaves who were in the areas of confederacy.

1-But in a larger sense we can not dedicate,we can not consecrate,we can not hallow this ground. 2-The brave men ,living and dead,who struggled here,have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract.
No. Independence Day has nothing to do with the abolishment of slavery. Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery because blacks helped the Union win the Civil War. Independence day is a holiday commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776, declaring independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain. I personally consider the Emancipation Proclamation (January 1, 1863) to be the true Declaration of Independence.
After Abraham Lincoln released the Emancipation Proclamation an increasing number of escaped slaves consigned themselves to the Union units asking to be employed as auxiliaries for logistic purposes. Furthermore the Proclamation opened the way to the enrolment of black people as volunteer soldiers in the Union Army.
