Gettysburg Address By Robert E Lee

“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.” The Gettysburg Address, by Abraham Lincoln explains that “all men are created equal,” thus they should have the freedom to pursue education, emancipation, and equal rights. Up from Slavery by Booker T. Washington, who was a freed slave, despite the odds founded the Tuskegee Institute. The Narrative of the Life of Fredrick Douglas written by Fredrick Douglas is the story of his life as a slave, his courage and his escape. Their lives and stories inspired other African Americans to seek a better life. Booker and Fredrick were both authors, orators, freed slaves, and both men valued education. In addition, both men wanted personal freedom and the freedom of others. “Education is the key to unlock the golden door of freedom,” stated George Washington Carver. Viewing education as the “key to unlock the golden door of freedom” they inspired others to seek education,

Gettysburg was the one of the bloodiest attacks in the war. Meade and Lee head to head, it took three days for the attack to end. Lee lost 28,063 men while Meade lost 23,049 men. Abraham Lincoln made a 2 minute speech for the people that fought there and honor the people who died. His speech was fascinating to the North and got them more motivated to fight in the war and also give them hope to win this war. The Gettysburg battle was a very sad day for the South and the North. Abe Lincoln wanted a new general but couldn’t find one, when he finally found one, he choose Ulysses Grant to lead the North into

The Battle of Gettysburg, from July 1 to July 3, 1863, is the most important engagement of the Civil War. After a great victory over Union soldiers at Chancellorsville Robert E. Lee took his Army of Virginia into Pennsylvania in late June .The Gettysburg battle was an opening for Abe Lincoln to present the Gettysburg address.This said that all soldiers were free after war to do stuff.Abe Lincoln was the union's president and Jefferson Davis was the confederate president and they both attended this historical meeting.

The five known composition copies of the Gettysburg Address are named for the individuals who obtained it from Lincoln. Lincoln provides a copy to his private secretaries, John Hay and John Nicolay. Both of the aforementioned copies were composed around the time of his November 19 address, while the other three duplicates of the speech, the Bliss, Bancroft, and Everett duplicates, and were composed by President Lincoln for philanthropic purposes. These copies were sent well later to November 19, the actual date of the famous address. Since then these copies have ended up being the standard content of Lincoln 's Gettysburg Address (LoC, 2012).

In “The Gettysburg Address” by Abraham Lincoln, addresses that the people should honor the deaths of the fallen soldiers and honor their sacrifices but the problem is that we hardly help them which is why most of them are homeless or unemployed and are ill. To commence, most soldiers who come back from war do not have jobs yet alone, most of the time soldiers won’t even have a place to be able to call their own. In addition, for those veterans that have a job, it may feel complex for them to adapt, in fact, it’s extremely difficult, and especially for soldiers who are suffering from Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Regarding PTSD, it is also the same reason why it is hard for them to live with anybody else, PTSD is something that veterans are struggling and coping with and are not getting the psychiatric help that they need to help them cope with problems. For this reason, most soldiers cannot work and if they cannot work who will provide and what will become of these soldiers. For instance, if soldiers were to find a job they could run the risk of something triggering their PTSD which is why most people would not want to hire them. They fear that they will attack one of the customers and cause problems with the law. In addition when they are burdened with PTSD and try to seek the help they need, they will not get it and sometimes the money they get is not enough to help their financial needs. President Lincoln emphasizes on how veterans

Throughout the semester, the readers have been clashing with each other over which label best fits the author, but they have ignored the minute particulars. These readers are looking at the forest as a broad generalization, and they are missing out on what the forest really is… a bunch of trees. All of these trees are diverse but similar: they are American authors, and the forest is American literature. One might think that this is a flimsy analogy, but it is the most apt and succinct way of explaining this issue. To truly understand any text, one must couch it within historical context; to be valid, an interpretation has to make sense within the historical context, and it has to agree with the minute particulars of the text. If either of these criterion are not met, then the interpretation will not be representative of the text whatsoever. It is imperative that one pay heed to the minute particulars and the text’s historical context: otherwise, the text will be vastly misinterpreted and misrepresented in any discussion of the text. The students grossly mischaracterized Abraham Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address “as a pro-abolitionist tract; they also seemed to think that President Lincoln was some divine martyr for anti-slavery sentiment, and that he was an exemplary person with regards to American identity. They could not be further from the truth. Historical context is paramount to understanding Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address”.

Abraham Lincoln’s “Gettysburg Address” is well known for giving Lincoln's ideas on foundation and the future of the nation. Where as vice president Alexander Stephens “Cornerstone Speech” also brings out Stephens ideas.When Lincoln had written the speech for the battle of Gettysburg he thought the “world will little note nor remember what we say here.” But the speech turned out to be as important as the battle itself. To start Lincoln clearly shows an understanding of the original foundation that was built on all men being created equal. He then proceeded to encourage the people that their jobs are to preserve America's founding ideas and remember those who have died fighting for it. Whereas in Stephens Cornerstone speech he clearly gives

April 12, 1861, a mark to a bigger thing than anyone had thought about during this time. USA (Union States of America) against CSA (Confederate States of America), 620,000 people had died throughout this war of four years. November 19, 1863; two years from the beginning of the civil war a speech was spoken. The country of America, not the United States of America yet, was split in half because of issues of slavery and central power divided the United States. November 19, 1863; two years after the start of the war, a speech one to be remembered for generations, and generations after it was spoken. Even, after being ridiculed and said to be one of the most unimportant speech, became more important than the actual battle. This speech

In 1863, the sixteenth President of the United States found himself engulfed by a horrific civil war and in leading his people to victory, Abraham Lincoln found himself in a predicament that required a well thought out motivational presentation. He found that opportunity with the address at Gettysburg. President Lincoln knew his people were dissatisfied with the loss of so many comrades and knew there must be a way he could prove that the lives of so many fallen soldiers, husbands, and sons were worth the efforts to restore the land of the free. The statement made in the Gettysburg Address to the people was a perfect example and in essence the embodiment of perfect communication.
