Explanation:

As we know, pathos is an appeal to emotion, while ethos is an appeal to ethics. Both are rhetorical devices used by speakers to convince their audiences of an idea. In this case, Lincoln's purpose was to appeal to people's sense of duty as well as their empathy. He wants his audience to remember they still have responsibilities ahead of them, important ones. They are to care for the families of fallen soldiers, and they must also keep on fighting to make sure those soldiers' deaths were not in vain. He also wants him audience to remain hopeful about the future, evoking the image of a lasting peace, which is the most desired thing in times of war.
