The Gettysburgh Adress ( forever remembered)




Can the use of force (military and political) preserve a nation, actually yes it can in more ways then one. For example, the Gettysburgh Adress which is a speech that was given by Abraham Lincoln to dedicate the burial of men whomhave given their life to our nation. The speech itself is full of emotion and honesty the speech truly shows the wide range of respect of all men whom have given their life to our nation. " these dead shall not die in vain" is a memorable quote from the speech, it is pretty much saying that it means alot that the men died for such a cause. The Gettysburgh Adress occured around the year 1863 and is still in effect in our history.

Its not common to hear that in a war 9,000 men from the south and 5,000 men from the south have died. The Gettysburgh Adress, a political force can most definatly preserve a nation because its presenting an issue, arising a solution, and leting others know. As to wether others agree or not its still molding, shaping, and preserving the nation all on its own. Thanks to a simple speech delivered by someone so valuable our very own Abraham Lincoln we now proudly respect and care so deeply for the men who die living the lives of a soldier. Live on soldier, may your souls rest in peace, you will be forever remembered and honored.
