Lincoln's primary purpose in delivering the Gettysburg Address was to dedicate a portion of the battlefield as a cemetery for fallen soldiers. The speech, delivered after the Battle of Gettysburg, emphasized the sacrifice of the soldiers and the principles of equality and democracy for which they fought. It sought to honor the fallen and reaffirm the nation's commitment to those ideals.
