He had smallpox.
I might be wrong.... but I believe he dedicated it to the soldiers who died, the soldiers who fought, the horrendous tragedy, or the people of Gettysburg. I hope my input helps you!
I just answered it... Gettysburg Address, Lincoln still spelt wrong.
Abraham Lincoln said, "If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong." This quote reflects his strong stance against the institution of slavery.
Abraham Lincoln said this in a letter to Albert G. Hodges in 1864.
Supposedly the speech was written on the train Mr. Lincoln was riding to the dedication ceremony where he delivered it. That would have been November, 1863.Contrary to the myth that Lincoln wrote this on the back of an envelope on November 18, 1863 while on the train traveling to Gettysburg, the speech was actually first written while he was still in Washington prior to leaving on the train. He put the finishing touches on the speech the night before while spending the night in his host's house.

Abraham Lincoln disagreed with the Dred Scott decision, which stated that African Americans could not be U.S. citizens. He believed it was morally wrong and went against the principles of the Declaration of Independence. Lincoln saw the decision as further evidence of the need to address the issue of slavery in America.
maybe something went wrong in Kentucky
True
No. It applied only to states that had seceded from the Union, leaving slavery untouched in states like Maryland and Delaware. Maryland might have seceded from the Union and joined the Confederacy, but President Lincoln sent Federal troops into the Maryland statehouse and prevented the legislature from voting. Also, the Emancipation Proclamation expressly exempted areas in slave states that had already come under Northern control. So, the slaves in those areas had to remain slaves. Further, the Emancipation Proclamation had no effect on slaves in states controlled by Confederate forces.
Abraham Lincoln opposed the institution of slavery and believed it was morally wrong. He famously declared that "If slavery is not wrong, nothing is wrong" and worked towards its abolition during his presidency.
