RE: Gettysburg-"Turning point"of the Civil War? - LincolnMan - 03-02-2020 01:39 PM It was also a turning point of the war because it provided Lincoln the opportunity (albeit a sad one) to deliver his remarks. That Address framed that the dead had not died in vain and that a new birth of freedom had begun. Just my two cents (Lincoln pennies, for sure). |
