On
November 19, 1863, Abraham Lincoln delivered his most famous speech
in Gettysburg at the dedication of the National Cemetery. Lincoln
spoke only for about three minutes, but his brief words conveyed the
war's larger meaning by declaring that the nation "shall have
a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by
the people, for the people, shall not perish from this earth." |
