1)
An event dedicating a national cemetery to the
battle site.
2)
That the government by the people for the people
and of the people does not perish
3)
As president, but he had no authority over the
southern states.
4)
The border states that decided not to secede from
the union since they wanted to remain more or less neutral between the northern
and southern states.
5)
The emancipation proclamation in a way was a cry
for help from the African American slaves. Although this proclamation helped
the North win the war and also brought the French to their side.
The Gettysburg address was written a year
after the emancipation and was directed at the people of the North as a
celebration of the war turning their direction.
6)
The help of allies. He writes the proclamation as
a friendly gesture to France. He doesn’t state that it is directly for France
but by stating he is anti slavery he has gained the respect of the French. His focus then shifts to the citizens of the
North when he gives the Gettysburg address.
7)
Sense of presidential authority: The
Emancipation Proclamation because his actions appealed to another country and
to a people, African slaves, in need of an ally.
The urgency of the national crisis;
The Gettysburg address because of how he relates to the people. He understands
that they are on top so while he has the people’s vote he insures it by telling
the people how great their country is.
Lincoln’s personal voice: The Gettysburg
address is short and sweet and sometimes that reveals someone’s greatest works.
Emily Dickinson for instance showed her work through short detailed poetry and
she was commended for it.
The value of freedom: Again, the
Gettysburg address labels Lincoln. Lincoln speaks of our country as a thing of
beauty. He compares our revolution to the revolution in France and says that
since we were established by the people for the people we will be able to pull
through. The civil war was just a test of our independence on both sides.
