What are some of the key points of the Gettysburg Address?
Garry Willis: “Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address remade America. Before the war, people said, The United States are. After people said, The United States is.”
Perhaps Lincoln's most famous speech. Five copies exist (the Library of Congress has two), though none are considered to be the original that Lincoln read from. It is believed that he penciled the notes on the train from Washington, D.C., to the battlefield. Los Angeles dealerJoseph Maddalena has a standing offer of $10 million.
