LAD #13 Gettysburg Address

Lincoln begins the address be recollecting the past and how the nation was founded with the proposition that all men are created equal. He then states the nation is in a civil war and that the war is just a test to see if the nation can endure. He then gives honor to the men who fought in the war and those who gave their lives for the country. At the end he says that the men who died shall not have died in vain, as the conflict would be resolved and the country would be reborn, with a new birth of freedom and government of people.
