To bring the country together when it was divided by different views of the war. To reiterate his view of the purpose of the United States and to provide a direction for the future "Soul" of the United States. Note: The main topics covered in the speech the U.S. is based on Liberty, Freedom and that all men are created equal" "the civil war is testing whether a nation such as the U.S. can exist"
