What was lincolns message in the Gettysburg address?
President Lincoln's main message was to raise the morale of the soldiers fighting the civil war and honor the deceased soldiers of the Union. With this message, he urged the soldiers of the Union to keep strong, and to strive for victory. While speaking of the soldiers' bravery, Lincoln was actually speaking to the entire nation, both North and South. His words beckoned the American people to preserve the nation that had been created "four score and seven years ago...". He wanted all of the American people to realize that preserving the Union would be a difficult task, but in honor of the men who fought and died there this should be done.
Why did president Lincoln insist the war was not about slavery or black rights but instead a war to preserve the union?
The Divided States of America?The term "union" implies "joined together', If the south (the Confederate States) had successfully seceded from the union, (and become a separate nation within the US), the United States would not be indivisible. What makes us strong is what our name implies, UNITY. The only way to maintain the union was for all the states to remain united. Otherwise, we would now be living in the "Divided States" with the core of the country owning slaves. A house divided cannot stand (as at its middle it is weak) and niether can The United States of America.One of Lincoln's arguments is that the United States Constitution contains no provision for the secession of a state from the union that the Constitution establishes. However, what the People have established (The Constitution) the People can change. One wonders if the Confederate States could have succeeded if they had tried for a Constitutional amendment establishing a procedure for secession.
