3. BORN: February 12, 1809, in Hardin County (now LaRue County),, Kentucky
DIED: April 15, 1865, at Petersen family’s boarding house, Washington, D.C.
Growing up from a poor family, Lincoln largely self-educated and became a
skilled lawyer. Abraham Lincoln was born as the son of Thomas Lincoln and Nancy Hanks. His
mother passed away when he was very young, and his father remarried to Sarah Bush Johnson,
who although she was not his birth mother, developed a very close relationship to Lincoln.
In 1860, Lincoln won the presidential election as the Republican candidate. His
victory triggered the secession of Southern states, leading to the Civil War. As President, Lincoln
faced the immense challenge of preserving the Union and ultimately ending slavery.
The Emancipation Proclamation in 1863 declared slaves in confederate-held
territories free, and Lincoln’s leadership during the Civil war earned him with respect. The
Gettysburg Address, delivered in 1863, emphasized the principles of equality and democracy.
Lincoln was re-elected in 1864 but did not live to see the end of the war. He was assassinated by
John Wilkes Booth on April 14, 1865.
Abraham Lincoln is statesman who serve as the 16th president of the United
Stated and remembered as one of America’s greatest presidents.

5. "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in
Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so
dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield 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.
It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this
ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor
power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never
forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which
they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great
task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for
which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not
have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that
government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

8. The speech is a concise and powerful speech that addresses
the significance of the Civil War and emphasizes the principles of equality
and democracy. It begins with the iconic phrase “Four score and seven
years ago”, referring to the founding of the United States in 1776.
The speech gave a meaning to the sacrifices of over fifty
thousand men who laid down their lives in the Battle of Gettysburg. The
Gettysburg Address declared that the United States had to stand as a
country where all men are equal and should be treated as equals.
The main message of the Gettysburg Address is that ideals
are worth dying for and that it is up tot the living to carry on the work of
those who died to protect ideals.
The short use of impactful sentences and repetition of key
phrases, such as “we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot
hollow this ground,” creates a rhythmic and memorable and the enduring
mission to ensure a government that serves the people.
During this time, this speech was given to commemorate a
new National Cemetery at Gettysburg. It also gave Lincoln’s purpose for
push on to win the Civil War – the abolition of slavery and the
reunification of the Union.
