The setting was Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on Thursday, November 19, 1863. Lincoln was speaking at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery. This was less than 5 months since the Union beat the Confederacy in the Battle of Gettysburg, so it was a very symbolic setting.

Why is it that Gettysburg address was considered to be such a failure when it was delivered why do you think it is now viewed with so much respect?
Lincoln wasn't the primary speaker. His speech game after a long one and was short. Many people didn't hear it very well, there were no sound systems in those days. The concise verbiage and the sentiment touch a nerve in everyone who read it.

What do you think is the value of a symbolic speech such as the Gettysburg Address?
This speech was written for a specific purpose- to dedicate the national cemetery at Gettyburg. The President's speeches are always read all over, so Lincoln did address the whole purpose of the war and try to encourage everyone to continue the struggle. However, it only became a "symbolic speech" because it was so well-written and says so much in just a few words. It is remembered because it is short and says a lot about the purpose of the American government.

What is an ideal English speech for grade 9 English?
The best speech is Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, since it is short, easy to read, and in a context students already know something about (the Civil War). It is also considered one of the very greatest of all speeches. President Franklin Roosevelt's first inaugural address is also very good for the same three reasons (except in this case the context is the Great Depression), as is the same president's speech of December 8, 1941, about the attack on Pearl Harbor (the context is World War II).

How do you memorize the Gettysburg address?
Read it aloud over and over. It will eventually stick in your head like song you hate does. Break it down in halves if you think it will help. It will only last about two minutes so it wont take long to memorise. And remember, Abraham Lincoln READ it to the audience.
