LAD #15: Lincoln's Gettysburg Address

Summary:
He begins by saying that the founding father's brought the country together and created a new nation where all men should be equal. But now they were in a civil war which was not what any nation wants to go through. We could not hallow the ground they stand upon. There were brave men that struggled and fought for what they believed in. So the living should be dedicated here to the unfinished work of those who have fought and they should honor the dead. The only way to do this was to gather together and raise as a nation, as one united nation. He finishes by saying that the dead shall not die for nothing and the country should be related under God for a new birth and that not one more person should perish from the earth because of this argument.
