Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address changed the world by powerfully declaring the founding ideals of America: liberty and equality for all.  

What makes America exceptional? It is a nation “conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.”

The Gettysburg Address memorializes the bloodiest battle in U.S. history—fought for America’s founding ideals of freedom and equality. 

As Lincoln put it, America is the first nation on earth that “declared as a self-evident truth that ‘all men are created equal.’”

The enduring message of the Gettysburg Address is that all Americans must remain committed to promoting freedom and equality for all.
