Ledia Boyd Period 3 U.S. History The Gettysburg Address The Gettysburg address was delivered in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on November 19th of 1863. The Gettysburg address was to be considered one of Abraham Lincoln’s greatest speeches. He made the Gettysburg address to make a few remarks of the soldiers that died on the Great Battle field. The message that is trying to be delivered is that all men are created equal. Also that there is no difference between race we are all created equal. How was the Gettysburg Address important you may ask? Well it was very important because it brought our nation back together. Also because it showed the nation why we ever came here in the first place, that was to make a great country and keep it united for ever through thick and thin, for us all to stand together as one no matter what. The impact that the Gettysburg address had on our nation was it had a great political impact on Americans. The most challenging aspect of this project was writing the report. It was so much fun to make the photo story. We had so much fun with making the photo story. We didn’t just take pictures from the internet we did reenactments that matched up to slides and we put them on there. Like we did a reenactment of the Great battle and posted on the great battle field slide. So to me the most challenging was the report. We had to research all the information but the project altogether was kind of easy it wasn’t really hard at all.

[^^^^^^] [If this doesn't work..]  [The Gettysburg Address was given on November 19, 1863 at….. Who would have guessed? Gettysburg. This address’s meaning was that the soldiers who had already fought and died in the Civil War need not to “die in vain.” The battle fought at Gettysburg had been bloody, and though Lincoln had come to dedicate the new cemetery, he told the crowd gathered around it that it had already been “hallowed” by the fallen soldier’s blood. There was reason for the war to continue; that it might prove that the newly formed nation can right itself in the face of civil disputes. Mr. Abraham Lincoln both justified and gave his approval for the war to continue and play itself out with this 272 word speech. The American public gained a sense of self worth and that its fellow civilians could help fight against a cause that was tearing the nation apart. The most difficult parts of this project were actually taking the pictures. Ledia and I had a limited time frame that we had to get them all done in, and with about 25 slides, it’s quite a bit of pictures. Then, it started to get dark outside, which left us with inside living room and my room. A few of the pictures have us both in them, and I got my little sister to take most of them. On one occasion, I had my camera propped up on the fish tank with a gummy bear under it to get the angle I needed. All of the pictures, including the ones off of the internet have been modified in some way, shape, or form. It took the longest amount of time. Not to mention, since I’m cheap and Vista illiterate, my paint shop skills were pushed to the limit. Near the end of the project, I started getting these white boxes in my pictures. Some pictures also have little white splotches where my eraser would wipe out. I did the slides on my laptop, which doesn’t have a mouse. So everything I even dragged my mouse over was erased. We took so many pictures before we found ones that worked for certain slides. A slide actually has a repeated picture. I don’t think anyone will notice. All in all, the pictures were by far the hardest. (That and the computer issues.)]
