Lincoln used the Battle of Gettysburg as a pivotal moment to take action against slavery, delivering the Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863. In this speech, he emphasized the principles of liberty and equality, reinforcing the need to honor those who fought for the nation and to ensure that a "new birth of freedom" would follow the war. This address helped to frame the Civil War as not just a struggle for the Union, but also as a fight for the abolition of slavery.
