Synopsis
The Civil War was America's bloodiest conflict. In four years, more than 620,000 soldiers gave their lives to the cause. In the midst of the war, following devastating human losses, President Abraham Lincoln appeared at the dedication of the Soldier's National Cemetery in Gettysburg, PA - the first of it's kind in the country. In 272 words, Lincoln succinctly defined for a wounded nation why the fight must continue - what was worth fighting (and dying) for. From interviews with the country's leading historians, Lincoln scholars, Ivy League professors, powerful politicians, businessmen, conservationists, and celebrities to discussions with inspired visitors at Lincoln shrines across America, "The Gettysburg Address" dissects Lincoln's ability to eloquently define the American ideal and investigates the mystery behind the lack of exhibition of the famous Bliss copy.
