1863 “The Great Task Remaining”
The winter was severe, the snow deep. The soldiers were discouraged. They knew that they had fought bravely but there had been mismanagement and inefficient generalship. Homesickness set in and became a disease.
—CHARLES COFFIN, BOSTON JOURNAL
JANUARY 1863
Willing to fight for Uncle Sam but not for Uncle Sambo.
—UNION NEWSPAPER HEADLINE
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that the government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
—PRESIDENT ABRAHAM LINCOLN
NOVEMBER 1863
