Answer 2

In my reading it says "President Abe Lincoln traveled to the site of the battle to dedicate the field as a national cemetery. President Lincoln was not the guest speaker there but was asked to make a brief closing statement in dedication of this soldiers cemetery and in honor of the men who fought and died there both Union and Confederacy"
