healing and rebuilding the South
The Gettysburg Address is most likely short because (1 point)Abraham Lincoln intended to limit his subject.Abraham Lincoln intended to get his point across quickly.Abraham Lincoln was a skilled orator
The proposition that all men are created equal.
You have mixed two event: the Battle of Gettysburg, and Lincoln's delivery of the Gettysburg Address.
In Lincoln's first inaugural address, he declared that he would not do anything about slavery in states where it already existed. He reiterated his campaign promises to leave the issue in the hands of his countrymen, in hopes of avoiding what became the Civil War. He declared his friendship to those in the South, and that he would only do what he was legally allowed to do re: slavery. It was his attempt to keep the Union from dissolving, by making it clear the Federal Government would do nothing to validate the Southern states claims of an abusive Federal system. If trouble were to start, it would start because of actions taken by the South.
Many historians would point to Lincoln's Gettysburg Address to qualify as the answer to this question.
Abraham Lincoln was the President. The speech was his Gettysburg address.
To say that people should be treated free and equal! To say that blacks should not be slaves! And for them to be free.. But look where that got America..
The speech was given outside on the steps of the US Capitol. Members of Congress, party officials and hundreds of others were present to hear him in person. The speech was broadcast live throughout the nation and much of the world.
To honor Mr. Lincoln
It was a speech that would advise both the South and the North that he wasn't on either side, but he saw both their point of views. When giving his address he was very careful as to no state something that would cause more ambiguity. In order for him to preserve his beloved Union, he needed the support from both sides, slavery being their main issue for the confederates and the unionists. Lincoln's main issue was to preserve the Union, not slavery, in one of his speeches he state that if he needed to free all the slaves he would do it, if he needed to free some slaves but not others he would do it, and if he had to maintain slavery he would do it, in order to "preserve the union." repeated his commitment not to interfere with slavery where it already existed.
The service point address is just the port address
I would greatly appreciate Dr. Carson's mailing address if anyone knows. Not his address at John Hopkins but some point of contact. I need a signed copy of America the Beautiful for Lincoln-Reagan Dinner. glen Davis email bglendavis@gmail.com ThankYou
