LAD #13-Lincoln's Gettysburg Address

The Gettysburg Address is one of the most quoted, well known and eloquent speeches ever given in American history. Lincoln states his views upon human equality (referring to the issue of slavery that was being disputed at the time) based upon statements in the Declaration of Independence and other important American history legal documents. His speech declared that all men had the right to freedom and that it was the American way. He was declaring that the citizens were denying the African Americans the right to freedom that the United States had fought so hard for against Britain. This war, it morally needed to end in the favor of the North because it was the right thing.
