Question

civil war help

Answer 1

The Gettysburg Address

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
Abraham Lincoln

Answer 2

What do you think is the mood of Lincoln's speech, which line(s) or phrase(s) best indicated this to you?

Answer 3

Well, I personally would say the mood is extremely gloomy and somber...as you can see he also includes the usage of "we" a lot to show connection even in the midst of the Civil War. Then he finishes off with a message of hopefulness that the future would be better off. I wouldn't actually point out all the lines where he put "we" because that's too much lol

Answer 4

So there are two different moods from what I see, you can pick which one you wan't to focus on, it's your preference

yay thankss

Answer 11

4. What do you think Lincoln is defending in this speech, which line(s) or phrase(s) best indicated this to you?

Answer 12

This goes on par with my hope theme, in which Lincoln is addressing a future with freedom. In my interpretation he's defending the government based on freedom, as he put:

"...that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that \(government\) of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."

You could choose if you want to go with this theme xD I don't think he seems to be defending anything else as 3/4ths of the whole thing are honoring the deceased.
