Hi, need to submit a 750 words paper on the topic Two Questions. One occasion in which Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address" reiterates this famous ruler is when he asserts, “our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation.” (Boritt 1). Similarly, Pericles started his speech in this way when he claimed, “I shall began by speaking about our ancestors.” (Halsall 34). Another instance is when Lincoln claims, “we cannot consecrate -we cannot hallow-this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it.” (Boritt 1). This is also evident in Pericles speech when he argues that the people being honored have proved themselves valiant on the war zone, and that their victory shall not be illustrated through speech given by a single man, but by action (Halsall 34). In addition, in Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address", Lincoln also reiterates Pericles’ recognition and admiration of democracy. The famed conclusion of the speech, “government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth,” exhibits Lincoln view on democracy (Boritt 1). Similarly, Pericles appears to embellish democracy when he claims, “power is in the hands not of a minority but of the whole people our political life is free and open” (Halsall 38).
