But do you believe me?

Good heavens, no, Triston. The Revolutionary War ended more than 80 years before this speech.
See what Lincoln said about his purpose.
Abraham Lincoln at Gettysburg
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met here on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of it as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But in a larger sense we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled, here, have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but can never forget what they did here.
It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they have, thus far, so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
I am not going to give you the exact answer but I am going to help you first read the book and text next ask for help and if that don't I help you they did it too help the fallen soldiers.
You are correct. Except that the answer for number 4 is b not d.
Anon is right except for number 4 it is actually b. I just took the check with both answers and got a 100%
The purpose of the Gettysburg Address was to honor the soldiers who had died in the Battle of Gettysburg and to rally the nation to continue the fight for the preservation of the Union during the American Civil War.
To understand the purpose of the Gettysburg Address, it is important to examine the historical context. The Battle of Gettysburg, fought from July 1 to July 3, 1863, was a turning point in the Civil War. It was one of the bloodiest battles of the war and resulted in a Union victory. President Abraham Lincoln was invited to deliver a few short remarks at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, where thousands of soldiers who had perished in the battle were to be buried.
In his speech, President Lincoln aimed to redefine the purpose of the war and emphasize the principles of equality and freedom upon which the United States was founded. He intended to unite the nation by appealing to the shared values that brought it into existence. The Gettysburg Address lasted only a few minutes but had a profound impact on the American people and became one of the most famous speeches in American history.
Therefore, the purpose of the Gettysburg Address was to honor the fallen soldiers, inspire the nation to continue the fight for the Union, and restate the principles upon which the United States was founded.
