GETTYSBURG ADDRESS Wine Glass

The Gettysburg Address was given by President Abraham Lincoln on November 19, 1863, during the American Civil War. It was a short but powerful speech, only about two minutes long, and is remembered for its eloquence and enduring message. In it, Lincoln reaffirmed the principles of human equality espoused in the Declaration of Independence and honored the soldiers who had died at the Battle of Gettysburg. The address ends with the famous words "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."
