In 1863, President Lincoln's visit to the town of Gettysburg, occurring four months after the climactic battle that had taken place there, had a twofold purpose. As stated in his now-famous "Gettysburg Address", it was, first, to dedicate a portion of the field of battle in honor of those who fought and died there for the cause of freedom. Secondly, it was to inspire "increased devotion" in Northerners to the cause of freedom still being waged in the ongoing war.
