Answer: b. He wanted to remind people about what the nation’s founding ideals were.

Explanation:

This question relates to the "Gettysburg Address" which was one of the most popular speeches given by President Lincoln. He gave it at the occasion of the opening ceremony of the Gettysburg cemetery for Union soldiers.
