The Gettysburg Address

Answer 1

Answer: Wikipedia and The Abraham Lincoln Blog by Geoff Elliott.

Explanation: Wikipedia is an open platform that can be edited by individuals. While you can find lots of useful information on it. It would not be considered a scholarly source. The same thing goes for a blog. Blogs sometimes just are not reliable. While some of them are written by real experts and can be great sources for some topics, many are strongly opinionated and can lack the professionalism expected in a scholarly source.
