  2. Words To Look Out For!!!!!!!!! • Abraham Lincoln • Gettysburg Address • Slavery • Civil War • Lincoln Memorial

  3. The Man Behind It All • Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809 in Hardin County, Kentucky. He was a great politician in his early teen years. As time continued by Abraham married Mary Todd and had four children. He was known as President Lincoln as of 1861 and was until 1865, when he died from assassination . -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  4. Rough Times • Abraham Lincoln was president of the U.S. at one of the hardest times in history. It was a time when the north was continually debating with south on if the U.S. was completely going to have slavery or if we were going to all be free. Soon the south seem to get extremely angry and fired the first shot at Fort Sumter, this was the start of a war that never should have begun. http://www.howderfamily.com/graphics/blog/fort_sumter.jpg

  5. America was Addressed • On November 19, 1863 in Gettysburg Pennsylvania, immediately after the battle of Gettysburg, It was time for America to be addressed.

  6. The Gettysburg Address by: ABRAHAM Lincoln • Four score 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. • Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. • But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

  7. Through it all • The American Civil War was the deadliest war I American history, causing 620,000 soldier deaths, and an undetermined number of civilian casualties, ending slavery in the United States, restoring the Union, and strengthening the role of the federal government. The social, political, economic and racial issues of the war decisively shaped the reconstruction era to last until the 21st century.

  8. On This Day……………….. • I believe that Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, gave the President, honor & glory. He is today know as one of the greatest presidents of all time. If it wasn’t for the Gettysburg Address, it would be impossible for America to even come close to having a President like our current one Barack Obama. Lincoln has his on memorial and recently celebrities came out to support the new change and honor of how America has improved in such a great way. • America is the greatest land on earth and I’m proud to be an American. Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address gave us the start.
