Before You Begin
Choose one of the Civil War topics listed below. Using the library and the Internet, find one research source about the topic. Your source should be at least five hundred words in length, or, if you select a print source, at least four to five pages.

Choose one topic:

a major Civil War battle
Civil War munitions and uniforms
the Emancipation Proclamation
the Gettysburg Address
After you find your source, you should meet with your teacher to get it approved before moving on to the next step.

Good readers rely on a set of skills to help them understand a text. You can use these strategies as you read the research source about the Civil War.

If possible, print a version of the text that you can write on. It is helpful to highlight key points and make notes in the margins. This strategy is called annotating.
When you find words or phrases that you do not know, do not skip over them. There is a series of steps you can take to understand the meaning of these words and phrases, so that you do not miss out on key ideas.
Context clues: Look at the words before and after the unknown word or phrase. Using the surrounding text, or context, can you find any clues to the meaning of the unknown word?
Using a dictionary: To find the specific meaning of a word, including helpful information like part of speech, word origin, and multiple meanings, you can use a dictionary. There are both print and online dictionaries available.
Using an encyclopedia: Some words or phrases may have an important historical or contextual meaning behind them, especially in a social studies or history text. In this case, an encyclopedia is an excellent resource. For example, you would not want to simply use a dictionary to look up George Washington; in fact, an encyclopedia would provide you with a clearer meaning.
After annotating the text, go back and read the text one more time. You might notice new details that you missed the first time.
After you have finished reading the text a second time and have defined any unknown words, jot down some notes about the key points or ideas. It can be helpful to write a quick summary of the source in order to prepare you for your next step: writing a report.

Answer:

The Gettysburg address

  On November 19, 1863, in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, Abraham Lincoln presents his most famous speech as president. This speech was presented at Union Cemetery after the Battle of Gettysburg, and it was intended to help those soldiers who died, however, it accomplished much more. The Gettysburg address summarizes everything that the United States was striving for during that time.

  The Gettysburg address represents what our nation attains for yet also shows how the United States holds a magnificent country. His speech lasted only nearly 270 words long in ten sentences. It took him around three minutes to read the address. The beginning of the address introduces the tone for the message Lincoln was seeking to convey. In his speech, he declares, "Fourscore 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." In this quote, he is proposing to declare that this country is established upon the principle of equality.

  Another point Lincoln emphasizes in his speech is that the events of the war must not be overlooked. He states “That we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain; that the nation shall have a new birth of freedom and that the government by the people by the people for the people, shall not perish from the earth”. Abraham is striving to show the people regarding the union including the rest of the country that we ought to defend those principles that these men upon the battlefield are fighting for, and we can not allow them to die in vain.

  To conclude, the Gettysburg Address stays one of the most powerful speeches from its time and is still recognized around the United States today. Lincoln was capable to deliver a message of hope and courage when it was difficult to have either of them. This address can represent everything we attain as a country and it will always remain remembered as one of the greatest speeches presented by a president.
