In 1863, President Lincoln's visit to the town of Gettysburg, occurring four months after the climactic battle that had taken place there, had a twofold purpose. As stated in his now-famous "Gettysburg Address", it was, first, to dedicate a portion of the field of battle in honor of those who fought and died there for the cause of freedom. Secondly, it was to inspire "increased devotion" in Northerners to the cause of freedom still being waged in the ongoing war.
A military cemetery that was built to honor Union soldiers who died there was established at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The very first National Cemetery that was built to honor fallen heroes from all wars was in Arlington, Virginia.
It refers to the strategy Ulysses S Grant used in his campaign in which he told the public that he would not forget all those who died in the war and would honor them and the then dead president Lincoln.

In the Gettysburg Address, President Lincoln stated that the best way for the living to honor the dead is by dedicating themselves to the unfinished work that those who fought at Gettysburg had begun. He emphasized the importance of ensuring that the nation would have a "new birth of freedom" and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, would not perish from the earth.
