Answer 1

The Gettysburg Address most notably reaffirmed the notions of freedom and equality, as Lincoln emphasized the sacrifices made at Gettysburg for the Union and the principle of a nation dedicated to these ideals.

B is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

The Gettysburg Address, delivered by President Abraham Lincoln on November 19, 1863, most notably reaffirmed the notions of freedom and equality. In his speech, Lincoln invoked the spirit of the Founding Fathers and the American Revolution, emphasizing that the Union soldiers who died at Gettysburg did so to preserve the Union and to guarantee freedom and equality for all.

This revered speech did not declare the end of slavery, demand foreign support, call for the South's immediate surrender, nor did it announce a plan for reconciliation with the South. Instead, it was a poignant reminder of the sacrifices made for the principle that the nation should have a 'new birth of freedom' and that government 'of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.'

Answer 2

The Gettysburg Address most notably "(B) reaffirmed the notions of freedom and equality," since in delivering the speech, Lincoln wanted to remind the war-torn nation that they were ultimately all Americans, on the same team.
