Gettysburg is a 1993 epic war film written and directed by Ronald F. Maxwell, adapted from the novel The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara, about the Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. The film starred Tom Berenger, Jeff Daniels, and Martin Sheen with Randy Edelman composing the score.
The film follows the plot line of Killer Angels. The focus on the first day is on John Buford, who selects the battlefield. The focus on the second day is Joshua Chamberlain's defense of Little Round Top. The focus on the following evening is on preparation for and the execution of Pickett's Charge. James Longstreet is the major focus of those scenes.
The film was originally intended to have been a TV miniseries. The producers originally pitched the project to ABC in 1991. ABC initially agreed to back the project, but when a miniseries about George Armstrong Custer, Son of the Morning Star, got low ratings, ABC pulled out. It wasn't long until media mogul Ted Turner picked it up and the film went into production.
The Gettysburg Address is a speech by U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, one of the best-known in American history. It was delivered by Lincoln during the American Civil War, on the afternoon of Thursday, November 19, 1863, at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, four and a half months after the Union armies defeated those of the Confederacy at the Battle of Gettysburg.
Abraham Lincoln's carefully crafted address, secondary to other presentations that day, was one of the greatest and most influential statements of national purpose. In just over two minutes, Lincoln reiterated the principles of human equality espoused by the Declaration of Independence and proclaimed the Civil War as a struggle for the preservation of the Union sundered by the secession crisis, with "a new birth of freedom" that would bring true equality to all of its citizens. Lincoln also redefined the Civil War as a struggle not just for the Union, but also for the principle of human equality.
This is an epic 4 hour movie about the battle of Gettysburg, which was crucial in the American Civil War (aka the War of Northern Aggression). It gives a bit of the flavor of how complex the military situation was and how unlike our modern concepts of warfare these battles were. It has an excellent cast.

One of my favorite scene from Gettysburg (1993). Joshua Chamberlain (Jeff Daniels) recieves news from his brother Thomas that their friend Kilrain passed away overnight. I love this scene for the reaction of Jeff Daniels at the news, the surprise on his face, the one word answers, his eyes, the smile and finally the tear.
Cutout from the film for educational purposes.
October 22, 2016 - Donald Trump FULL Gettysburg Address Speech
The Gettysburg Address is a speech by U.S. President Abraham Lincoln and is one of the best-known speeches in United States history.[1] It was delivered by Lincoln during the American Civil War, on the afternoon of Thursday, November 19, 1863, at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, four and a half months after the Union armies defeated those of the Confederacy at the decisive Battle of Gettysburg.
Lincoln felt he had failed the people with his short address, and yet, those 269 words were spoken and all speeches that came thereafter were measured against it.
"Tom Amandes as Lincoln, recites the Gettysburg Address, not in booming, this-is-a-great-speech style, but casually, as if chatting over dinner. The approach elevates the words." - New York Times 'Saving Lincoln' is the true story of Abraham Lincoln and his close friend, Ward Hill Lamon, featuring sets created from actual Civil War photographs.

President Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address performed by President Barack Obama. The Gettysburg Address - November 19, 1865: Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who died here that the nation might live. This we may, in all propriety, do. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate, we can not consecrate, we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, ha...

Thousands of men on every side
Guns fill the air with lead
The realms of death are open wide
The gods of war will soon be fed
Sound the charge, put the bayonets on
Scream with rage, fathers, cousins and sons
Swallow your fear, follow the flag to the end
Nothing seems real, dreams turning to sand
Thousands of men on every side
Guns fill the air with lead
The realms of death are open wide
The gods of war will soon be fed
Sound the charge, put the bayonets on
Scream with rage, fathers, cousins and sons
Swallow your fear, follow the flag to the end
Nothing seems real, dreams turning to sand
A nation ripped apart, a conflict escalating
Freedom is the call, and millions are responding
(The) war will turn today, the wind blows from the North
Years of blood and death, will soon come to an end
