Best Answer

The Gettysburg Address is a brilliant piece of emotional persuasive speech. The three major types of appeal in speech are logos, ethos, and pathos (logical, moral, and emotional). The Gettysburg Address is not a logical construction. There is a certain logical conflict in the appeal to the idea of freedom, while denying freedom to those who wished to secede from the Union. Lincoln emphasized the moral need for freedom and equality and supported that with an emotional appeal to the memory of the slain soldiers. This is generally recognized as one of the finest short speeches ever delivered in the English language.
