Why did the Chicago times criticize Abe Lincoln's speech the Gettysburg address

History
1 answer:
devlian [24]3 years ago
5 0

ibutes have been devoted to it, re-creations staged of it, and books written about it. It is surely fair to say that no other American speech has ever inspired so much writing and so many more speeches. This paper may be the latest, but it certainly will not be the last.

Perhaps what makes the speech especially appealing to modern Americans are the handicaps Lincoln faced in delivering it: a late invitation to appear; a rude reminder that he should deliver no more than “a few appropriate remarks”; the distraction of a sick child at home; an unenviable spot on the program that day—following a stem-winder by the greatest orator of the era; and Lincoln’s deep aversion to public speechmaking of any kind once he became president. We have come to love the Gettysburg Address, in part, because in spite of all these obstacles Lincoln somehow composed a masterpiece

One result of the invention of the. Was the increased speed of communication from one area to another far away.
erastovalidia [21]

Answer:

<h2>Telegraph</h2>

Explanation:

Telegraph is the answer I would suggest, as that was the first invention that greatly accelerated the speed of communication.  Following that came the telephone, and then after that, cell phones and  the Internet.  All of these communication tools have accelerated the rate and amount of global communication.  But the first step in that direction was the telegraph.

The telegraph was developed in the first part of the 19th century by Samuel Morse and other inventors.   Morse also developed a code (which has been named after him) for communicating messages via short and long   electronic signals over telegraph wires.   Morse sent his first telegraph message in 1844.  By 1866 telegraph lines had been laid across the Atlantic Ocean for communication between the USA and Europe.

As summarized by the <em>History Channel, "</em>The telegraph revolutionized long-distance communication. ... Although the telegraph had fallen out of widespread use by the start of the 21st century, replaced by the telephone, fax machine and Internet, it laid the groundwork for the communications revolution that led to those later innovations."
