The Gettysburg Address: An Analysis On 19 November‚ we commemorate the anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address in 1863. In one of the first posts on this blog‚ I compared Lincoln’s two-minute address with the two-hour oration by Edward Everett on the same occasion. Today the former is universally regarded as one of the most famous speeches in American history; the latter is largely forgotten. Indeed‚ Everett himself recognized the genius of Lincoln’s speech in a note that he sent to

Thoughts On Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address Powerful Impact Right off the bat‚ Abraham Lincoln is letting us know exactly what he believes and where he stands. He’s telling us that this great nation was originally formed with the idea of liberty and equality among men in mind. President Lincoln was a man of great integrity and passion.
