LAD #15 Lincoln's Gettysburg Address

Lincoln starts the speech by reminding the crowd about the founding of the nation and how the founding fathers worked for a nation free of tyranny. He then says that this war is questioning whether a country like ours can survive for any real length of time. Lincoln then says that the speeches that were made there on that day would not be remembered, but the deeds of the soldiers now buried in the cemetery would be. They were fighting for the task facing the nation. He then ends the speech by saying that the soldiers did not die in vain and that the nation would survive.
