Descripción Hardcover. Condición: new. Hardcover. Almost five months after the Civil Wars deadliest clash, President Abraham Lincoln and other Union leaders gathered to dedicate the Soldiers National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The program for the occasion featured music, prayer, orations, and benedictions. In the middle of it all, the president gave a few commemorative remarks, speaking for just two minutes, delivering what we now know as the Gettysburg Address.Challenged to mark the enormity of the battlewhich had turned the tide of the war, though neither side realized it yetLincoln used 272 words in ten sentences to rededicate the Union to the preservation of freedom. It remains the most important statement of our nations commitment to personal liberty since the Revolutionary War and has become one of the most important speeches in American history, a cornerstone of who we are as a country. A century and a half later, we still hold Lincolns message in our hearts.For Gettysburg Replies, the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum challenged presidents, judges, historians, filmmakers, poets, actors, and others to craft 272 words of their own to celebrate Lincoln, the Gettysburg Address, or a related topic that stirs their passions. President Jimmy Carter reveals how the Gettysburg Address helped bring Egypt and Israel closer at the Camp David Peace Accords. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day OConnor reflects on Lincolns dedication to the importance of civic education. General Colin Powell explains how Martin Luther King Jr. took up Lincolns mantle and carried it forward. Filmmaker Steven Spielberg touches on the benefits and perils of hero worship. Poet Laureate Billy Collins explores the dichotomy between the private man who wrote poetry (My Childhood Home I See Again) and the president who stood before all. Attorney Alan Dershowitz echoes Lincolns words to rally us to the freedom from weapons of mass destruction.Gettysburg Replies features images of important Lincoln documents and artifacts, including the first copy of the address that Lincoln wrote out after delivering it, the program from the cemetery dedication, Lincolns presidential seal, and more. Together, these words and images create a lasting tribute not only to Lincoln himself but also the power of his devotion to freedom. An illustrated celebration of the Gettysburg Address from the Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum, published to coincide with the 150th anniversary of Lincolns assassination.
