Union Army General George Meade commanded the Army of the Potomac at the Battle of Gettysburg two days after he assumed command. Because Meade was a Pennsylvanian, President Lincoln thought he would âfight well on his own dunghill.â.
In a mere 272 words, Lincolnâs Gettysburg Address recast the war as not merely a struggle to maintain the Union, but as a battle for larger human ideals. Lincoln called for âa new birth of freedomâ and asserted that the survival of democracy itself was at stake.
