If you mean middle eastern countries the problem with them gaining independence is that they govern solely based on religion (or Shariah law). This limits freedom of expression. An example of this is that if you're gay, or don't subscribe to the Muslim religion you are executed. In extreme cases such as the middle east it can be a very cruel religion. That's why it's so controversial. You should also check out the youtuber Eazyonme. He used to live in Pakistan, which is a Muslim country and speaks about the messed up stuff that goes down there because of Shariah Law. I hope this helped you.

Answer: The main message was that Democracy and the United States would last, in spite of the Civil War.
The Gettysburg Address is a speech that U.S. President Abraham Lincoln delivered during the American Civil War at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg.
Lincoln described ours as a nation "conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal," and represented the Civil War as a test that would decide whether such a nation, the Union sundered by the secession crisis could endure.
