        Sam Waterson's rendition of the Address, during Burn's Civil War series, deserves to be an alternate national anthem, right along Ray Charles version of America the Beautiful

        Lincoln's speech said that the Civil War wasn't just about the Union but was a fight for human equality. Referencing the principles for which the nation was based on, he redefined what the war was about and changed into a worthy crusade worth fighting for no matter the cost.

        My great great grandfather, Seargeant Andrew F. Kreger, was with the 1st Minnesota and survived after taking a bullet to the thigh during Pickett's Charge. Of the 300 in this regiment, 170 of his fellow Minnesotans didn't live to see the next day defending the Union.pic.twitter.com/DRPmHv1I6z

        And he wasn't even the featured speaker that day. Just an afterthought yet he wrote one of the most powerful speeches in history on the way there and is long remembered while the featured speaker and his speech are all but forgotten.

        The previous speaker spoke for 2 hours. The camera man was setting up the shot as Lincoln began speaking believing he had time but he didn't. That's why the shot looks as it does since the speech was over rather quickly.

        If you have never visited Gettysburg, please go. It is truly hallowed ground. One of the most moving experiences you will ever have. The guides are extremely knowledgeable. You may come home as a member of #TheResistance.

        As a history lover, I was tickled when my husband proposed in the Overlook Room of The Dobbin House, named such, of course, because it over looks this spot in Gettysburg. Advice: If you ever visit The Dobbin House, venture downstairs and have a RUM BELLIES VENGEANCE. Limit 2!pic.twitter.com/FB1SbzAFVA

        On this day, today, #secondcivilwarletters has become a trend on the tweets, truly deserving a Ken Burn’s treatment. If only we knew someone at NPR...
