LAD 14: Lincoln's Gettysburg Address

"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." This line is Lincolns most famous line in his history of being president. It shows his whole idea that everyone , man, women, whites, blacks, they are all equal. On November 19, 1863, Lincoln made his Gettysburg Address on the site of the Battle of Gettysburg, where hundreds of Americas died, southern and northern. Lincoln's main goal of this speech was to reconnect the Union. He wanted the bloodshed to end.
