For example look at Vietnam. Thousands of Americans lost their lives due fighting down there. When LBJ was president civilian people and soldiers wanted the US out of the war at any cost. Due to him not pulling them out people started to think that the government wasn’t on their side in this matter or didn’t listen.
Both speeches focus on the history of fighting for a cause leading up to the Civil War. The US was built on revolutionary spirit and men's lives lost for the bigger idea of freedom. The deaths of the men will mean something because the cause of the war means something.
These addresses revitalized the Union effort and reminded the men of the long history they were now a part of. They stand on the side of freedom and that will be meaningful. This dedicate brought up morale in Union forces.
The states were all trying to create their own government and all the other nations were confused as to who wanted what in trade or how anything worked
