gettysburg address gettysburg address this is a speech given by u s president abraham lincoln during the american civil war on the afternoon of thursday november 19 1863 at the dedication of the soldiers national cemetery in gettysburg pennsylvania the speech occurred four and a half months after the union armies defeated general robert e lee and his csa forces at the battle of gettysburg pages gettysburg address edward everett address abraham lincoln battle of gettysburg robert e lee celebrating the path to freedom article the first america s four republics commentary historic us no taxation without proper representation gettysburg address gettysburg address the disasters of the army of the potomac did not end with the removal of general mcclellan which took place in november 1862 as a consequence of his persistent delay in pursuing robert e lee s retreating army after the battle of antietam general burnside who succeeded him suffered a humiliating defeat in his attack upon the entrenched position of the confederates at fredericksburg general hooker who next took command after opening his campaign by crossing the rapidan in a march of extraordinary brilliancy was defeated at chancellorsville in a battle where both sides lost severely and then retired again north of the river general lee leaving the national army on his right flank crossed the potomac and hooker having at his own request been relieved and succeeded by general meade the two armies met in a three days battle at gettysburg pa where general lee sustained a decisive defeat and was driven back into virginia his flight from gettysburg began on the evening of the 4th of july a day that in this year doubled its luster as a historic anniversary for on this day vicksburg the most important confederate stronghold in the west surrendered to general grant he had spent the early months of 1863 in successive attempts to take that fortress all of which had failed but on the last day of april he crossed the river at grand gulf and within a few days fought the successful battles of port gibson raymond jackson champion hills and the big black river and shut up the army of pemberton in close siege in the city of vicksburg which he finally captured with about 30 000 men on the 4th of july the reburial of union soldiers from the gettysburg battlefield graves began on october 17 three months after the july 1 3 1863 battle of gettysburg the committee for the national cemetery consecration invited president lincoln for the november 19 1863 writing it is the desire that after the oration you as chief executive of the nation formally set apart these grounds to their sacred use by a few appropriate remarks this document is the earliest known of the five drafts of the speech delivered by president abraham lincoln in gettysburg pennsylvania at the dedication of a memorial cemetery on november 19 1863 which it is now familiarly known as the gettysburg address lincoln justified the civil war carnage by equating it to an effort of us citizens to live up to the proposition that all men are created equal this document once owned by lincoln s private secretary john george nicolay is known to be the only draft of the gettysburg address the first page is on executive mansion stationery indicating that it was drafted in washington d c the second page is written on foolscap which has caused many historians to conclude that that lincoln was not fully satisfied with the final paragraph of the address and rewrote that passage in gettysburg on november 19 while staying at the home of judge david wills abraham lincoln took a train from washington d c to gettysburg on november 18 on the railroad car the president rode with his secretary john g nicolay his assistant secretary john hay the three members of his cabinet members william seward john usher and montgomery blair john hay recalled that the president stated that he felt weak on the train while john nicolay on the morning of november 19 notes that lincoln mentioned to him that he was dizzy hay noted that during the speech lincoln s face had a ghastly color and that he was sad mournful almost haggard the program organized for that day by wills and his committee included music by birgfield s band prayer by reverend t h stockton d d music by the marine band oration by hon edward everett music hymn composed by b b french esq dedicatory remarks by the president of the united states dirge sung by choir selected for the occasion benediction by reverend h l baugher d d there are slightly differing versions of lincoln s gettysburg address and the one that is here given is a literal transcript of the speech as he afterward wrote it out for a fair in baltimore abraham lincoln hay draft of the gettysburg address 1863 manuscript page one john hay papers manuscript division library of congress fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal now we are engaged in a great civil war testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure we are met on a great battle field of that war we have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live it is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this but in a larger sense we cannot dedicate we cannot consecrate we cannot hallow this ground abraham lincoln hay draft of the gettysburg address 1863 manuscript page two john hay papers manuscript division library of congress the brave men living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract the world will little note nor long remember what we say here but it can never forget what they did here it is for us the living rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced it is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain that this nation under god shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people by the people for the people shall not perish from the earth the speech that president abraham lincoln delivered at the dedication of the national cemetery on the battlefield of gettysburg november 19th 1863 was at once recognized as the philosophy in brief of the whole great struggle and has already become classic the most notable part of lincoln s speech was its ending that this nation under god shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people by the people for the people shall not perish from the earth the origin of this phrase dates back to chief justice john marshall s opinion in mcculloch v maryland 1819 when he stated the government of the union then whatever may be the influence of this fact on the case is emphatically and truly a government of the people in form and in substance it emanates from them its powers are granted by them and are to be exercised directly on them and for their benefit gettysburg address newspaper the new york times november 20 1863 we cannot dedicate we cannot consecrate we cannot hallow this ground a rare first day of publication newspaper with lincoln s timeless speech incorporating american ideals as justification for the civil war the gettysburg address is on the front page and this original issue also includes edward everett s speech along with a report on the ceremonies 11 years later senator daniel webster in a january 26 1830 speech before the united states senate described the federal government as made for the people made by the people and answerable to the people finally abolitionist minister theodore parker of massachusetts reported used this phrase in one of his speeches democracy is direct self government over all the people for all the people by all the people historic us a non profit corporation primary

jefferson and james madison in 1791 that went out of existence over the schism between john quincy adams and andrew jackson today for the sake of expediency political scientists incorrectly refer to it as the democratic republican party party members at the time never utilized the name democratic republican because it was the republican party acting us president david atchison never claimed that he was the president of the united states for one day on march 4 1849 political scientists who make the assertion claim that because zachary taylor refused to be sworn in on a sunday march 4 1849 and both the president and vice president s term ended on that date the president pro tempore of the u s senate david atchison therefore became the president under 1849 presidential succession law
