LAD#13 - Lincoln's Ghettysburg Address.

The Gettysburg Address was delivered by President Abraham Lincoln on November 19, 1863,during the Civil War, at the blood-stained battlefield of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Lincoln essentially said:
"A nation built on liberty and equality is now engaged in a civil war, to see whether a nation conceived under such principles can endure. Though the land here is to be dedicated to those whose blood has been shed, it should be the living that should be dedicated here. Since it is up to the living to honor the dead and resolve that they shall not have died in vain. It is the duty of the living to conceive a "new" nation under God that will preserve the freedom of the people and that a government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not be destroyed."
