were still fighting, probably afraid that they wouldn’t be identified and not told to their family that they had died. He should have paid more attention to that problem so they could've been eased and fought harder. He was Lincoln when he gave his speech. Yet when they died, the soldiers would have also been honored. I agree with the argument, yet they would've been honored more later on through the years. But, what do you think the speech was about? It was to encourage the soldiers to keep fighting…
