President Abraham Lincoln Tablet

The tablets commemorating Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address at cemeteries in 1909 were part of a widespread effort to honor Lincoln's famous speech, delivered during the American Civil War at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. These tablets were often installed in cemeteries across the United States as a tribute to Lincoln's words and the sacrifice of soldiers during the Civil War. They reinforced ideals of equality, freedom, and national unity that Lincoln articulated in his address.
