I have readthis in the given material that Gettysburg Address was not entirely new.he was aware of Daniel webster's statement in 1830 that the origin of our government and the source of its power is "the people's constitution, the people's government; made for the people, made by the people, and answerable to the people."

Lincoln had read Supreme Court Justice John Marshall's opinion, which states: "The government of the Union . . . is emphatically and truly a government of the people. . . . Its powers are granted by them and are to be exercised directly on them, and for their benefit."

in a ringing anti-slavery address in Boston in 1858, Rev. Theodore Parker, the noted minister, defined democracy as "a government of all the people, by all the people, for all the people." On a copy of this address in Lincoln's papers, this passage is encircled with pencil marks. But Lincoln did not merely repeat this theme; he transformed it into America's greatest patriotic utterance. With the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln gave meaning to the sacrifice of the dead-he gave inspiration to the living.

All the above staeted were his out side sources from where he got his bacis idea about his speech.the idea was approximately same but he delivered a thought of sacrifing in a new manner with new words and emotions.

Well his writhing process was not really short he prepared almost five copies of his address
