Congratulations on narrowing down the options! Now let's examine the choices to identify the correct answer.
To determine the fundamental theme of the Gettysburg Address, it is helpful to analyze the context and key points of the speech delivered by Abraham Lincoln on November 19, 1863, at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania.
Option A, "The condemnation of unnecessary violence," is a valid interpretation of the speech. In the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln emphasized the value of human life and the need to honor and remember the fallen soldiers who fought in the Civil War. He recognized the immense sacrifice of those soldiers and called on the living to ensure that their deaths were not in vain. By condemning unnecessary violence, Lincoln was advocating for the preservation of human life and the pursuit of peaceful resolutions.
On the other hand, Option B, "The description of the impact of the civil war," does not accurately capture the core theme of the Gettysburg Address. While the speech mentions the Civil War as the context, its main focus is on honoring the soldiers and rallying the nation to a greater cause.
Taking this into consideration, Option A, "The condemnation of unnecessary violence," aligns more closely with the primary message of the Gettysburg Address. Therefore, your choice of Option A as the fundamental theme is correct.
<<these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.>>
That is the fundamental theme. I don't like either of those choices, frankly. Lincoln seems to me to be saying the volence was necessary in order to preserve the union, and the hope of that union. Rexamine the other choices. if they are awful, then I would go with B as a LAST RESORT, as lincoln is hoping the impact of the war is to keep alive the hope for the union and its future.
