The Gettysburg Address was a speech that was delivered by former president of the United States Abraham Lincoln while the Soldiers' National Cemetery was being dedicated in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
The speech explained the critical issues that America was facing and at the same time, tribute were given to the fallen heroes and the speech also passed the message across that the citizens should be dedicated towards achieving the American dream and should always be ready to preserve the nation with equality and fairness as the main word because everyone is equal. Lincoln was humble and dedicated with regards to the speech.
I think symbols have a ton of power! When I see a cross it makes me think of what God and Jesus have done for us. Other symbols like the American flag, give me hope and remind me what our country is doing to fight for our freedom!
