A battle is a skirmish fought in a declared war.\n\nThe battle of Gettysburg was faught during the war between the states.\n\nI wouldn't call your teacher retarded. They're the one giving the grade. Respectfully disagree and site your sources. :)

NO!!! It is very important to make sure our voters (and future voters) are educated in the subject!!!!! I cannot emphasize this enough!!!

DuBois saw Lincoln as a whole being. He appreciated what he did  with the E.P. of 1863, and I think that he hopes that Lincoln believed what he did was right. He also saw ,what to some of the more refined, aristocratic politicians were Lincoln's less appealing qualities.  Perhaps DuBois found this to be  the basis of Lincoln's understanding for the situation of the slave and the need to rectify the situation .Lincoln also realized that if the country was allowed to be driven apart that the truth in United we stand, divided we fall would become only too real. Washington started it, Lincoln held it together and Churchill saved it. Our country and freedom. And yes I am, as my name would suggest from the South.

Basics like 'how to participate', at least one of his representatives, and who the president is (prob sec. of state too.)\n\nThen there's the history... should know who we got independence from, first president, and a bit about social equality and the fight for rights for blacks and women. (refrencing Rossie the Riviter, Rosa Parks, MLK Jr. and Lincoln)

I am not quite sure just what you're asking. Speeches are usually a formal address and are most commonly thought of in connection with politics. They are given on momentous occasions, national holidays, when running for office, and to commemerate events.\n\nA speech given at a graduation ceremony is known as a commencement address, a sermon is associated with church, a lecture by a teacher or professor; a tirade or diatribe would be a vehement or denouncing something.\n\nSome speeches are well-remembered, like George Washington's Farewell Address and Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address.

If it is really that important to you, you could go ahead and prepare the speeches and assign them.  So not forget that it is thier graduation too. Your fellow graduates may have different ideas of what makes thier day meaningful. They may not want to memorize and present a speech. Be prepared for them to not do it or to do it poorly if you take this path.\n\nFor symbolism you could check wikipedia.

Good question and asked very nicely.\n\nThere are a lot but I think, just to make it easier, the most glaring one to me is the resurrection.  To get the facts right on the Most Important Day, EVER, would be pretty key.  Yet Matthew, Mark, Luke and John conflict on about 30 points.  Among them are:  WHO went to the tomb, WHEN they went, WHY they went, WHO was there (humans or angels), HOW many (1 or 2), WAS the stone rolled away or not. \n\nTo have "gods perfect word" conflict about this most important event is a critical failure.

Hi, First Grant had nothing to do with Gettysburg he was at Vicksburg.  General Meade was just appointed commander of the Army of the Potomac.  John Reynolds a ranking Corp Commander was killed the first day and was replaced by Hancock who then commanded the First, Second, and Third Corps — three-fifths of the Union army and was considered by most the hero of Gettysburg.  Hope this helps.  God Bless You and The Southern People.

My first thought was Nero, good choice. As for not listening to the facts, I'm really not sure what our conservative friends are referring to. People that refer to Abraham Lincoln "starting" the Civil War need to get their facts straight. Lincoln's goal in the Civil War was to keep the Union strong and together. The war was "started" by the Confederacy with the bombing of Fort Sumpter.

You can probably go to the website and download because you will hear alot of peoples opinions and untruths on the subject.  \n\nIt was a good speech.

it is important.  But what about it?

I just visited the battlefield in Vicksburg last month.  The city was important in the Civil War because of the Mississippee River.  The Union needed to control the river so the South could not get supplies.  That's why the Union army attacked Vicksburg.

I've always wondered that too. I think that Washington and Lincoln are more important than MLK to American History. I think that MLK was a great man and did great things, but he didn't go nearly as much as our early presidents did.
