(A) The American revolution upheld the ideals of equality and freedom, and the civil war is being fought to uphold the same ideals.

This describes a claim Lincoln makes in the Gettysburg Address

Step-by-step explanation:

In his speech, Lincoln raised his views in support of the Declaration of Independence and focused more on the idea that the main goal of the civil war is not just to maintain the Union, but to point out the importance of equality and freedom to all citizens, supporting by that the saying that all men are created equal and there must be peace and harmony between every citizen.

He also talked about equity and how it is important to uphold a nation. Lincoln also advocated that this equality and freedom is essential to make any nation endure for long.
