"It has been 87 years since the sages established the country. Freedom and equality are the foundation of the country. Now that the civil war is here, I came here for the survival of the country. I wish to commemorate the warriors with a square inch. Assuming the remaining heavy responsibilities, fulfilling the unfinished business with the will of the martyrs, may God bless our country to regain its freedom, and make the country of the people, by the people, and for the people to last forever.” The last paragraph is November 19, 1863 at Gettys On the day when the Martyrs' Mausoleum was built after the Battle of Fort, Lincoln gave the most important and exquisite speech in the history of human political speech. The reason why it is exquisite is that it is only two minutes long, but its meaning and value are more than that. Time goes back to July 4, 1776, when the United States declared independence as a country, the "Declaration of Independence" was mainly drafted by Thomas Jefferson and completed by Benjamin Franklin and others. The greatness of the founding fathers lies in the American spirit they established. It is a huge influence that is ingrained in every American citizen, and even around the world. Just as in the Declaration of Independence, "all men are created equal, and everyone has the right to pursue fairness, justice, and happiness." Abraham Lincoln also had the right to pursue a better and more complete constitution that grants everyone the right to fairness, justice, and happiness. It also shows that there is no "law" that can guarantee the people's happy life once and for all, and it can only be formed through continuous overthrow and reconstruction to form a system suitable for the contemporary era. But the human psychological mechanism seems accustomed to deify great men as saints, just as we deify Confucius as a sage of Confucius. In fact, the original "Declaration of Independence" is contrary to itself. Of course, its original intention was good, but because of the situation forced it to express the same ideas as history has shown us, people of color have not received what they deserve. There are still class relations between different races, so history conforms to the outbreak of the American Civil War.
