Lauren Leonard: On July first through July third the Union and the Confederates joined in Gettysburg Pennsylvania where the Gettysburg Address was delivered. The first paragraph of the Gettysburg Address was a reminder about the creation of the united states also noting that government was based on freedom. This alo quoted the preamble of the Declaration of Independence. In the secound paragraph leading into the third Lincoln was refering to a formation known as "the Great Experiment". This formation was known for this because no one knew if a government like this could survive. Lincoln also acknowledged that anything that he or anyone else said was just words. He came and gave this speech to dedicate the cemetery ground, but he changed it to say that the soldiers had already dedicated it. The Gettysburg Address was important because it became a rally cry that got Lincoln a secound term as president and it also reinforced the Union resolve to win the war. Through the process of creating this project I have found that trying to get throught the whole project was the biggest challenge. The process of going on Google and trying to find the perfect image to go with each of the fragments of the speech was one of the many tough challenges. I also thought that trying to get all the image imported to Photostory in a chronological order with words that fit with each picture was very tough. Then came the challenge of recording the whole speech just perfect so we didn't laugh, read to fast, or saythe completely wrong thing this also was a great challenge. If i had to choose what the biggest challenge was out of the whole project I would probably say writing this paper because i didn't think that the paper would be long enough and i really can not think of anything else to write about. This whole project was a stressful process especially when we lost our project and had to do th whole thing over again.

Jennifer Roelke:

The Union and Confederate states fought in Gettysburg from July 1st to July 3, 1863.

Lincoln had delivered his speech November 19, 1863 in the battle field of Gettysburg. The

speech he had written was saying that in 1776 the nation was declared a new nation. It was

based on the idea of freedom and that “all men are created equal”. The civil war was

basically testing to see if the nation would survive. Lincoln had said that he wanted to make

the cemetery ground a sacred honor because it represented those who died to save our

nation. The was important because it represented those that died and Lincoln wanted a

better nation. The most challenging aspect of this project was to break down the entire

speech word for word and go into deeper meaning.
