Gettysburg Address

Questions on pg. 607
3) I think Lincoln was a very earnest, smart, and strong-willed person. Lincoln instills a sense of sadness, but want for equality in his speech. His attitude is that there is hope for the future of this country, and that all men are created equal. The men who fought in battle, fought with courage and died for their cause. He wants to live in a free country someday, and he wants to persuade his listeners to want the same thing. He uses sentiment to reach out to the audience. Those who fought in the war were/are dedicated to their country. Lincoln states that the nation, under God, will someday be free.
