Abraham Lincoln, one of the most consequential leaders in American History delivered the famous Gettysburg address in 1863. One of the most important traits in a leader is his/her ability to look forward and President Lincoln demonstrated that in the Gettysburg address.The following passage from the address demonstrates that. When he said, "The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.", he means that the future generations will always look back on the sacrifice of the soldiers for a cause which was so much bigger than any one person. Note that Lincoln appealed to the larger world and not only the Northern and Southern states when he made that inspiring speech.
The narrator tells how "Earth: The Planet" has undergone several name changes. What point might the author be making? The author uses the name changes to suggest that the whole planet has been just a brand for centuries
