Question

A fundamental theme of the Gettysburg address is
A. The condemtion of unnecessary violence**
B. The description of the impact of the civil war

I got it narrowed down to these, I think it is A though

Answer 1

<<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.

Answer 2

I'm pretty sure it's C, the appeal for preservation of democracy.
