Here Adam Gault's beautifully animated version of the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln's famous 1863 speech designed to galvanize the Union's resolve during a trying time in the Civil War.
I haven't heard the full speech in a while, and it's interesting to note that Lincoln predicts his words won't be remembered. I wonder if he genuinely believed that or if it was simply rhetorical humility.
