    I love how Lincoln used the repetitive technique in his persuasive, call to action speech to move the masses. The words "we", "cannot", even "that", and more, used in such a concise few words and in two minutes, is amazing. What a great speaker and speech writer the president was.

    "4 score and 7 years ago, our fathers..." referred back to 7/4/1776. Lincoln was known as 'Father Abraham' and he referred to Genasis 16:16 when "Abram was 4 score and 6 years old when (the slave girl) Hagar gave birth to Ishmael ("Is he male?"). Lincoln was the 16th p16resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. This is a BIG proof of destiny. See 7seals.blogspot.com - only the returned Christ, Lincoln, and Albert Einstein reincarnated could produce that. It's triggered The Apocalypse/Revelation which is NOT the 'end of the world'.

    Oh my gosh, I don't think I've ever clicked on a video so fast. Ever since Mr. Renn told our class he would be doing this collaboration I've been waiting on pins and needles for it to come out. I'm so happy that he was able to have this amazing opportunity. Here's to Mr. Hughes for making this possible for him and Mr. Renn, who I can already tell is the greatest teacher I've ever had and will ever have.

    Also, you have to remember that (1) Lincoln was speaking before a large crowd in the open air, NOT in an auditorium or some kind of public hall and (2) in 1863 there was NO kind of electrical public address system or amplification apparatus. In other words, you had to be pretty darn close up in front of the stage to actually hear one syllable of Lincoln's speech.

    Where attention goes, energy flows . . . is kind of the whole idea of youTube. It's your secret of success Keith. OK, it is true you have to have lots of facts... and you do, but brevity is the key to attention flow. I'm in my sixties and like those much much younger, my "attention goes" where the information is bang bang. Two Minutes. 272 words. That might be the secret of the Gettysburg Address. Just imagine with a room full of speech writers and the constraint of two minutes, and something important to say . . . how good that speech would be. Increase the brevity, Keith, and John.

    "But let us not forget that it is oratory, not logic; beauty, not sense. Think of the argument in it! Put it into the cold words of everyday! The doctrine is simply this: that the Union soldiers who died at Gettysburg sacrificed their lives to the cause of self-determination - “that government of the people, by the people, for the people,” should not perish from the earth. It is difficult to imagine anything MORE UNTRUE. The Union soldiers in that battle actually fought AGAINST self-determination; it was the Confederates who fought for the right of their people to govern themselves. What was the practical effect of the battle of Gettysburg? What else than the destruction of the old sovereignty of the States, i. e., of the people of the States? The Confederates went into battle an absolutely free people; they came out with their freedom subject to the supervision and vote of the rest of the country-and for nearly twenty years that vote was so effective that they enjoyed scarcely any freedom at all. Am I the first American to note the fundamental nonsensicality of the Gettysburg address? If so, I plead my aesthetic joy in it in amelioration of the sacrilege." H.L. Menchen.

    Good video if you need information on HOW and why he did the speech. I needed he speech explained, which it says in the headline/title of this video, but all they talk about is how he wrote it and how the people reacted. Not useful for me, I’m sorry. Also too many attempts of humor, which is super annoying, as it takes up time. Waste of 14 minutes.
