Lesson 6- Effects of the Civil War and Reconstruction

Question 6 • GHS 2025 US History A-CR

Rather than merely dedicating a cemetery, what does Lincoln call upon his listeners to do?

Answer
A
Dedicate themselves to achieving victory in the war.
B
Volunteer for the armed forces.
C
Bring a speedy end to the war so that no more people have to die.

Explanation

In the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln says the living must be dedicated to the “unfinished work” for which the fallen soldiers gave their lives. He calls on his listeners to ensure that the nation has a “new birth of freedom” and that government “of the people” endures. This means dedicating themselves to achieving victory in the war, not simply volunteering or ending the war regardless of its outcome.
