Dedication of Battlefield for Cemetery
Posted: Nov 19, 1863
GETTYSBURG, PENN—Today President Abraham Lincoln stood at the battlefield of Gettysburg to dedicated the grounds as a cemetery for all the brave men that have died for our nation. While the dedication speech was short it was powerful. Gettysburg has now been dedicated "as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live," taken from President Lincoln’s speech.
With the war still going on, President Lincoln still gave hope that this nation can stay united as one. IN an interview after the dedication, President Lincoln said that he drew his inspiration for the speech from God. President Lincoln said that "divided we fall--the North needs the South and the South needs the North," referring back to the end of his speech where if this government can act with a united people it will not perish from the earth.
President Lincoln believes that the war is coming to a close and is in hopes that the end is with in a few weeks.

I liked it, you said what you had to say and nothing more and it was good. I did notice a few little errors in grammar as well, but besides that, it was good.
Good job. I like the quotes that you used. It's so tough to include everything in such a short ammount of time, but I think you did well. Way to use the inverted pyramid.:)
