On a grey afternn n 19 Nvember 1863, a tall, thin man munted a platfrm in a field in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and began t speak. The place was the site f a recent battle where thusands f sldiers had died.
The man was Abraham Lincln, President f the United States f America, and he was there in memry f the sldiers wh had died. The speech he gave was just 268 wrds lng and lasted tw minutes. But this address t the crwd changed the minds f his peple and helped shape a natin.
At that time, America was bitterly divided. Fr tw years, its peple had been deep in a civil war between the slave-wning Cnfederate Suthern States and the “free” Nrthern States f the Unin. The wrst battle lasted three days and tk place at Gettysburg in 1863. The Unin side wn, but at a great cst. Over 50,000 sldiers were killed r wunded, and peple lst hpe and purpse. What was all this suffering fr?
Lincln understd the feelings f the civilian peple. His speech gave them hpe, belief and a reasn t lk t the future. He gave them a new visin f what the United States f America shuld be, based n the ideals set dwn by its Funding Fathers 87 years befre. It was what the sldiers died fr. Nw it was up t the living t remve nt nly the divisins between Nrth and Suth, but the bundaries between black and white, and wrk step by step twards the equality f humankind.
Fur scre and seven years ag ur fathers brught frth, upn this cntinent, a new natin, cnceived in Liberty, and dedicated t the prpsitin that all men are created equal.Nw we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that natin, r any natin, s cnceived, and s dedicated, can lng endure. We are met here n a great battlefield f that war. We have cme t dedicate a prtin f it as a final resting place fr thse wh here gave their lives that that natin might live. It is altgether fitting and prper that we shuld d this.
But in a larger sense, we can nt dedicate — we can nt cnsecrate — we can nt hallw this grund. The brave men, living and dead, wh struggled here, have cnsecrated it far abve ur pr pwer t add r detract. The wrld will little nte, nr lng remember, what we say here, but can never frget what they did here. It is fr us, the living, rather t be dedicated here t the unfinished wrk which they have thus far, s nbly carried n.
It is rather fr us t be here dedicated t the great task remaining befre us — that frm these hnred dead we take increased devtin t that cause fr which they here gave the last full measure f devtin — that we here highly reslve that these dead shall nt have died in vain: that this natin shall have a new birth f freedm; and that this gvernment f the peple, by the peple, fr the peple, shall nt perish frm the earth.

Talk abut the significance f ablishing slavery in the US.
Give a talk abut the significance f ablishing slavery in the US.1. Organise yur ideas by answering the questins.What was the US like befre slavery was ablished?Hw was it different afterwards?In what ways did the ablitin f slavery help t break bundaries?
2. D research t find mre evidence t supprt yur ideas.3. Think abut effective ways t find infrmatin t supprt yur ideas. And give yur talk t the class. 
Befre slavery was ablished, slaves in the US had been treated as animals. At that time, they culd nt receive respect. They did back-breaking wrk all day lng withut enugh rest. And they were ften physically abused by their wners and had n legal rights.
Paragraph 3 tells us “His (His refers t Abraham Lincln’s) speech gave them hpe, belief and a reasn t lk t the future.” Frm this sentence we knw that befre slavery was ablished, Americans had n hpe, r belief, r a reasn t lk t the future.
And the sentence “It was what the sldiers died fr. Nw it was up t the living t remve nt nly the divisins between Nrth and Suth, but the bundaries between black and white, and wrk step by step twards the equality f humankind.” means, in my pinin, sme Americans at that time were willing t sacrifice their lives t break the bundaries between black and white, and wrk step by step twards the equality f humankind.
After slavery was ablished, we learned frm Paragraph 6 “that this natin shall have a new birth f freedm; and that this gvernment f the peple, by the peple, fr the peple, shall nt perish frm the earth.” , which means that black and white in America shuld be equal. T a certain extent, the black have been free after slavery was ablished. And they enjy the same legal rights as the white. S the ablishment f slavery did break the bundaries between black and white.
