What is the name of the civil war speech?

Answer 1

If this question refers to the speech made by US President Lincoln, the the speech was called the Gettysburg Address. Lincoln traveled by train to the site of the largest battle of the US Civil War. He addressed the audience in eloquent fashion. I have included the text of this great speech that will never be forgotten. Before any nation goes to war, its leaders should read it in public before they send young men & women off to war. This for any nation, whether now or in the future.

The speech was given on November 19, 1863. As an aside, in my fifth grade class the students had to memorize it. Here is the Gettysburg Address:

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place of those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate -- we cannot consecrate -- we cannot hallow-- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never what they did here. It is us for the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us--- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion --- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall have not died in vain-- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom--- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
