Lincoln’s famous Gettysburg Address focused on two main points after the battle of Gettysburg. One, it was to commemorate those who sacrificed their lives to help preserve the Union during the Civil War. Two, it was to stress the importance of the Civil War, and to give hope to anybody with doubts to keep fighting. He then talks of challenges and issues America has faced, is facing and will face in the future. He admires the courage of all who had died at Gettysburg but not specifically what they did was heroic but the ideas they fought for was there greatest accomplishment. He then says that these soldiers did not die in infamy and that they paid the greatest sacrifice anyone could ask of their country. Lastly he says that America comes together and comes to agreements that all men should be treated equal peace could be brought among the states.
This is a scene from Remember the Titans a classic movie. This relates to the Gettysburg address because the coach highlights that everyman is equal and should be treated equal while showing them the land we fought against each other on while we should be really working with each other.
