Oration at Gettysburg

The "Gettysburg Address," delivered by Abraham Lincoln in 1863 during the American Civil War, is a brief but powerful speech emphasizing national unity, equality, and the importance of honoring those who fought and died at Gettysburg. Lincoln reaffirmed the principles of liberty and democracy, calling for a "new birth of freedom" and reminding Americans that the nation must continue to resolve to ensure that "government of the people, by the people, for the people" endures. The speech is regarded as a profound expression of American values and a call to dedicate ourselves to the nation's founding ideals.
