LAD #15: Lincoln's Gettysburg Address

In his Gettysburg address, President Lincoln reminds the troops of what they are fighting for: a single unified nation. He goes on to state that there is no commemoration possible that will honor what those fighting have died for. This address is the best possible way to commemorate those already fallen while convincing the remaining others that the outcome will remain worth the effort. Also, that their victory will signal a return of their nation to what was envisioned by the founding fathers and the nation will return to its former glory, now in danger of being lost in this vicious war.
