Answer 1

The argument does Lincoln make about the Civil War in "The Gettysburg Address" is D: He claims that the war is about the ideals of the nation and whether a country founded on those ideals can survive.

Step-by-step explanation:

‘The Gettysburg Address’ by ‘Abraham Lincoln’ had the main purpose of uniting the country, in the midst of different views on the war. He wanted to provided U.S a direction and was going to see Civil war to an end.

War is never a positive experience as it leads to so many deaths and devastation all around. So, option A is incorrect. He never insisted for a war as per option B. As per option C, war happened a long time before he addressed the nation, which is incorrect.
