President Lincoln’s renowned, powerful speech is effective in empowering an audience through the use of pathos, parallelism, and expressive diction to emphasize his hopes of victory and peace in war made possible by the people’s choice in continuing to fight, while also wishing that the public view the souls lost in battle as heroes.
