LAD #15 Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address

Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address was given after the Battle of Gettysburg and he talked about the ideas of equality and freedom. He admires the courage of the people who died and fought in the battle and believed their ideas and morals that they fought for were their greatest accomplishments. Lincoln also says that he doesn’t believe a united country should be fighting in a civil war and instead the nation should be working together. Lastly, he says that the U.S. will move on and become bigger and stronger and he hopes the nation can provide equality and freedom to all, once again.

Pictures: I chose a picture of Lincoln giving his address to the people and I also chose a picture of Martin Luther King Jr. because his "I have a dream speech" is similar to Lincoln's. In King's speech he talks about how he wants equality and freedoms for all people and they both talk about how they want America to move on from their hardships and progress into something bigger and better. They both address similar points and talk about how they want change and that they admire the courage of those who stand up and fight for what they believe in and want to make a difference in history.
