Lincoln Questions 1-5, 7

  1. Because the battle of Gettysburg was the turning point in the war and he needed to connect with the people and encourage them to keep moving toward victory. 
  2. To preserve the union and to keep America alive with the idea that all men are created equal.
  3. Commander-in-Chief, of the Army and Navy of the United States.
  4. The proclamation was more of a symbol of Lincolns power and ability to turn the tables of the war. 
  5. In the North he had to make sense of all of the deaths and sacrifices that the men who fought made. 
8.  A sense of presidential authority-- Emancipation Proclamation because Lincoln was showing the Confederacy that he can make their lives hell by freeing all of the slaves and that he has the power to do so.

The urgency of the national crisis-- Gettysburg Address because it about how they need to fix their country to make them whole again before it is separated forever.

The value of Freedom -- The Emancipation Proclamation because Lincoln shows that importance of freedom and that freedom won the war for the North.

Lincoln's personal voice-- The Gettysburg Address because the E.P. is more of a formal document and here, Lincoln is reaching out to the people and reassuring them.
