" it is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly
advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to the cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolved that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." ~ Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg address, November 1863 Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address, November 1863 ~ Lincoln's main purpose in the excerpt was to? A.) Advocate racial equality. B.) Encourage the punishment of the south. C.) Propose expanded democratic voting rights. D.) Gain continued support for the war effort.
If you look deep within the text he was addressing the nation as a whole, he was not trying to get the point of advoacting racial equality out , he was trying to summarize the meaning of fighting and winning this conflict. And trying to encourage the nation, to continue to fight until we win especially for our fallen soldiers who died for the cause
False. Germany invaded Denmark because Hitler wanted to use its air bases. The invasion of Norway was mostly to gain the iron ore shipment from Narvik. So Germany invaded Norway and Denmark for their resources.
