TU Tuesday- presidential speeches

I chose Woodrow Wilson's Address at Gettysburg. He talks about how much courage the soldiers were that fought in the important battle. He draws upon the fact that the nation has grown since that time and it has bettered our nation. "They have meant peace and union and vigor, and the maturity and might of a great nation". This also is to celebrate how they were not enemies anymore and to remind people so it wont have to happen again. Woodrow uses this as a learning point saying that even after a war you must still have to work harder to improve. "We have harder things to do than were done in the heroic days of war, because harder to see clearly, requiring more vision, more calm balance of judgment, a more candid searching of the very springs of right."
