In Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, he discusses the Civil War after the Battle of Gettysburg. He begins by telling of when the nation was conceived and that it was based upon the principles of equality. Then, he states that the Civil War is a very difficult challenge for a nation to endure. Then, he recognizes all the soldiers that have fought in the war, but specifically those at Gettysburg. He says that it does not matter what he says about the soldiers, but what they did was of the utmost importance. He continues that these men who have died cannot have died in vein, but that the living now have to step up their game and keep up the fight that the soldiers started, and that by doing so, the nation can once again be home to equality and freedom.
