The Power of Speech
Famous US Presidents
Great Battles in History
1 On a grey afternoon on 19 November 1863,
a tall, thin man mounted a platform in a field in
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and began to speak.
The place was the site of a recent battle where
thousands of soldiers had died. The man was
Abraham Lincoln, President of the United States
of America, and he was there in memory of the
soldiers who had died. The speech he gave was
just 268 words long and lasted two minutes. But this address to the crowd changed the minds of his people and helped shape a nation.
What was Lincoln’s purpose in giving the speech?
In memory of the soldiers who died in the war.
