The occasion was the dedication of the military cemetery at Gettysburg, but that was a pretext. His real reason was to raise the spirits of a war-weary electorate to continue the long struggle, to change the reason for the war from the preservation of the union to the expansion of freedom to another race and class of citizens.

He was asked because he was the president and commander-in-chief of the nation.
