The president that i choose was Abraham Lincoln. The speech i choose from him was the "Gettysburg Address. This speech impacted the nation in a time of war and although it was short it was a powerful short speech. The most moral openers for a speech came from this one. "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal." This quote set the mood of we are Americans and we can do anything." I learned that Abraham Lincoln was well know for this speech and how he was a create speaker so it gave a better speaking environment. "We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live." In this quote he is praising the people who fought and died for there country. He finished the great speech with "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."
