- The Gettysburg Address
given by
President Abraham Lincoln
in
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
November 19, 1863
On June 1, 1865, Senator Charles Sumner commented on what is now considered the most famous speech by President Abraham Lincoln. In his eulogy on the slain president, he called it a "monumental act." He said Lincoln was mistaken that "the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here." Rather, the Bostonian remarked, "The world noted at once what he said, and will never cease to remember it. The battle itself was less important than the speech."

I am a bangladesi.The gettysburg address is on of the most famous address in the world.
"The battle itself was less important than the speech" is such a powerful point.
I am Chinese and when I was a teenager I used to plan to recite this speech for English contest among high school students. Thank God I cancelled my plan otherwise I could have already been murdered.
Why?
@@JamesBallinger To put it short, the Chinese authority does not accept bottom-up pursuit of freedom.
@@JamesBallinger Likely the Chinese gov't observers or authorities would accuse anyone who reads this of fomenting civil war in China.
Interestingly, the US manifest destiny and civil war were essentially an effort to force myriad groups of people under one banner. Also pretty sure our (the American) army killed 20+ million people to do it... Though I'm all for crushing slave masters, we did also sort of run amok on indiginenous peoples, mexicans, and canada while we were at it.
That said, just because our ancestors and the nazis did genocides and concentration camps, doesn't mean other countries should be doing genocides and concentration camps here in the future. 3 evils don't make a right...
Sorry, for some reason I thought you were in America! Makes perfect sense now.
@@JamesBallinger in China the students who are good at English try to learn from native speakers, to avoid some teachers' Chinese accent and Chinese style way of thinking
people now a-days should listen to this speech
We are, it’s called recitation for history class.

" Four Score and Seven Years Ago" ........ How these words ring true ,even unto Independence Day 2024 AD. 🇺🇲🇺🇸❤️🦅🗽📜⚖️🛡️🗡️⚔️🇺🇲🇺🇸
I am not trying to hyjack your comment I just want to add that a "score" is twenty years. Lincoln delived this speech in November of 1863 while the battle of Gettysburg occured in July (the 1st-3rd). Four score is Eighty years, plus the seven. Eighty-seven years prior to 1863 was 1776, the year of American Independance. I just figured it should be noted in the comments so no one has to google it.
“That government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth”
Is it okay if I use this in my video?
im not tryna do this bruh
To hear the story of the 2 minute speech by Abraham Lincoln, which changed the world forever, go to Peter Fenzel, Episode 2 - The Gettysburg Address - In Their Own Words. No distortions - Pure History! You will love it!!!
Thank you
Amen!

Whenever I see Americans fighting that Woke Progressivism, I recall: "Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure."

With a British accent.🤣 LMOA
Our Founding Fathers were British. They most likely had British accents.
Lmao "most likely"?? 🤣 Lincoln was born in America, Lincoln's Father was born in America. Dude! WTF?
@@trotamun2454 Sorry. I thought your reply was to The Declaration of Independence...
@@trotamun2454 That depends on how long it takes a language to change. When America was established, it was not like every person changed their accent from British to American daily. So Lincoln could still have a British accent or something in between.
