The Gettysburg Address
Gettysburg, Pa – On Wednesday, November 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln spoke about the new cemetery that will be dedicated to the soldiers who gave their lives during the Civil War.
"All men are created equal," President Lincoln stated as he spoke about our nation. "We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place."
The battle of Gettysburg started on July 1 and ended on July 3 of 1863 has been one of the worst battles in American history. Knowing how many Americans gave their lives, 17 acres of land has been purchased in a very somber place, to pay respect to them. Many soldiers will be buried on this land, given that around 15,000 died, not all will be.

Great story. The only thing I would suggest would be to have written the story like the speech had just happened. Other than that your story was really good. It flowed really well and was very easy to understand!
