Jefferson Davis, the President of the Confederate States, was critical of the Gettysburg Address. He believed that Abraham Lincoln's speech was an attempt to redefine the purpose of the Civil War and promote a vision of national unity that undermined the Confederacy's cause.

Lincoln emphasizes the need for national unity and the ongoing struggle for freedom and justice, framing the Civil War as a test of the nation’s commitment to these ideals. Ultimately, the address aims to inspire the living to continue the fight for a government "of the people, by the people, for the people."
