National Cemetery
The aftermath
The Battle of Gettysburg did not decide the final outcome of the Civil War, but it was a decisive victory for the Union and came at a time when northern support for the Union cause was wavering.
President Abraham Lincoln was not the featured speaker at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery at Gettysburg. He was asked to provide "a few appropriate remarks," recognized today as one of the greatest speeches of his presidency.
