The Gettysburg Address was a short speech following the Battle Of Gettysburg by President Lincoln.

The topic was keeping the country united no matter what

The Battle of Gettysburg, although a Union victory, cost the Army of the Potomac some 23,000 lives. It was such a large loss of lives (for both sides) that Lincoln was asked to come to say a "few words" at the dedication of a battlefield cemetery. Lincoln took the opportunity to encourage the people of the North to continue the struggle to save the Union. The brief inspirational speech became widely known and succeeded in reinforcing the morale of the North.

=The themes and values of the Gettysberg Address, namely freedom and democracy, transcend time. It is always worth remembering the ideals upon which your nation is founded. The emphasis Lincoln places on democracy in his final triplet, "government of the people, by the people, for the people" continues to speak to citizens, serving as a constant reminder that we all have a part to play in ensuring our nation remains democratic, and we have been given a voice which we should use for the betterment of the county. The government should always act in the interests of its people - and when it does not, it is time for a change. And it is not only about this, it is also about still honoring the dead. how we are now one nation; not divided at all.=

In 1863 It was widely criticized as a failure of an address But Today Is probably the best known of The Presidential Addresses.

About 300,000 soldiers burried at the battle of gettysburg

Four score and seven years ago isn't the "name" of a famous speech, it is the first line of the Gettysburg Address, spoken by Abraham Lincoln during the civil war. ---- That would be the begging of the Getsysbrug Address

Lincoln states that "the world will little note nor long remember what we say here..." but the opposite was true. His short address inspired the war-weary North with its succinct summation of the need to win the war and keep the republic intact.

The Gettysburg address was written to dedicate a cemetery to those who had lost their lives fighting for what they believed in (North) Lincoln wanted to tell the soldiers (the one who weren't dead) to win this war for the fallen victims of the bloodiest convict in American history.

On the afternoon of Thursday, November 18, 1863, 16th U.S. President Abraham Lincoln [February 12, 1809-April 15, 1865] gave the Gettysburg Address. He was participating in the dedication ceremonies for the Soldiers' National Cemetery at the Pennsylvania town of the same name. On July 1-3 of that same year, the town had been the scene of an important Union victory over the Confederate forces during the War between the States.

They both made a huge diffrence for many people.

• YES

The crowd is there to remember and honor the efforts of those who died during the Battle of Gettysburg. To quote: "We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live."

That so many of us would memorize his two minute speech and quote it often.

...use common sense.
