Gettysburg Address

We feel that the Gettysburg Address was made to honor the men fighting for our nation. Lincoln’s audience was citizens of America. We feel that the beginning stands out because it is a phrase everyone is familiar with. Whether they have read the Gettysburg Address in its entirety or not, "For scores and seven years ago" is a powerful and well known opening to the Gettysburg Address. Larger words are used throughout making Abraham Lincoln sound very educated and powerful. His speech is directly for the people, and favoring them. When a speech is like that it grabs the citizens attention and makes them take the speakers side on any given point. Flattery is an easier method to get your way.
