Abraham Lincoln adressed the American people with a speech that, as a side fact, is one of the most quoted speeches in the history of the U.S.
Over the years scholars have analyzed the speech, and they suggest that Lincoln used extreme care with his words. He wanted to deliver a heartfelt and precise message in moments of extreme national crisis. The magnitude of the battle in Gettysburg stunned the whole nation, and the dedication of a cementery at the site of the Civil War's most pivotal battle was seen as a solemn event, that empathized with the whole nation.
He placed this battle within the larger context of the American history, by making reference 87 years before to it's foundation. Lincoln sought to transform America by making an attempt at redefining liberty and nationalism by fusing the two together. Lincoln forever changed the way we think about the country.
The clear and obvious English of the title "A Valediction: Forbidding Mourning" means D. a farewell urging the listener not to be sad.
The speaker points out that he is compelled to consume his time apart from his beloved, but before he go, he explains that goodbye should not be the event of sorrow and mourning.
B) Ants look creepy with their weird eyes. This sentence is out of place because although the rest of the passage is formal and informative, this one is informative and does not offer real fact about the ants.
