why do you think that Lincoln started out talking about the past and the fathers in the Gettysburg Address

Respuesta :

He was referencing the Bible with “four score and seven years ago”,,, The our fathers meaning Jefferson and Madison and Hamilton establishing our government and explaining how we came together to fight the British. The Gettysburg was pretty much a pep talk for the civil war, so he wanted to express the ideal we had when establishing america, for the good of the people.
