A few months earlier, on this very same ground in Pennsylvania, more than 7, 000 men lost their lives fighting for their cause. Did you know that the Gettysburg Address is inscribed on the south wall of the Lincoln Memorial? Considered to be one of the finest speeches in the English language. At the time, Lincoln's address received mixed reviews

The Gettysburg Address By Abraham Lincoln Fourscore 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. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.

From the Providence Journal (Rhode Island) "We know not where to look for a more admirable speech than the brief one which the President made at the close of Mr. Everett's oration. . . Could the most elaborate and splendid be more beautiful, more touching, more inspiring, than those thrilling words of the President? They had in our humble judgment the charm and power of the very highest eloquence. " From the Chicago Times (A Democrat newspaper) "Readers will not have failed to observe the exceeding bad taste which characterized the remarks of the President. . . The cheek of every American must tingle with shame as he reads the silly, flat, and dish-watery utterances of the man who has to be pointed out to intelligent foreigners as the President of the United States. " From Harrisburg's Patriot and Union (Pennsylvania - Gettysburg is in this state) "We pass over the silly remarks of the President; . . . the veil of oblivion shall be dropped over them and. . . they shall no more be repeated or thought of. " From the Richmond Examiner (Richmond, Virginia) "Kings are usually made to speak in the magniloquent language supposed to be suited to their elevated position. On the present occasion, Lincoln acted the clown. "

4. 2 1. There were two main political parties in Lincoln's time: the Democrats and the Republicans. Lincoln was a Republican. Why do you think the Chicago Times might not be a Republican newspaper? From the Chicago Times (A Democrat newspaper) "Readers will not have failed to observe the exceeding bad taste which characterized the remarks of the President. . . The cheek of every American must tingle with shame as he reads the silly, flat, and dish-watery utterances of the man who has to be pointed out to intelligent foreigners as the President of the United States. " What was the tone of the Chicago Times news article? Was it in favor of Lincoln or against? What makes you think so? (Remember, Lincoln is a Republican)

4. 2 2. Was the Patriot and Union correct in its prediction? Why or why not? Go back and review the Gettysburg Address. What did Lincoln have to say about his words? Was he correct in his own prediction? Why or why not? From Harrisburg's Patriot and Union (Pennsylvania - Gettysburg is in this state) "We pass over the silly remarks of the President; . . . the veil of oblivion shall be dropped over them and. . . they shall no more be repeated or thought of. " Lincoln felt that his words would not be remembered. Why is that false?

4. 2 3. Explain the tone of the Richmond Examiner and Providence Journal editorials. Remember that tone is the attitude conveyed by the writing. From the Richmond Examiner (Richmond, Virginia) "Kings are usually made to speak in the magniloquent language supposed to be suited to their elevated position. On the present occasion, Lincoln acted the clown. " Remember the tone evokes feelings or expresses an attitude. What was the attitude of Richmond Examiner and Providence Journal editorials towards Lincoln? From the Providence Journal (Rhode Island) "We know not where to look for a more admirable speech than the brief one which the President made at the close of Mr. Everett's oration. . . Could the most elaborate and splendid be more beautiful, more touching, more inspiring, than those thrilling words of the President? They had in our humble judgment the charm and power of the very highest eloquence. "

4. 2 #1 is saying that there is nothing the living people can do to make the ground holy because those that died for their cause have already done that. Knowing this, what would this inspire people to do? #2 is saying we need to pay attention and take notice of what those people who died here have done for us and our freedom and to continue fighting for the cause for which they died. What does this inspire people to do? #3 is saying that our nation will find a new freedom from this fight and that this freedom is for everyone. Because of this, the government which is led by the people for the people will always live on. What does this inspire people to do?
