Explanation:

"The Gettysburg Address" was a speech given by President Abraham Lincoln at the dedication of the Soldiers' national Cemetery in Gettysburg. In this speech, he laid emphasis on the importance of the sacrifice that these slain soldiers had made, and it is upon the common public to always remember the sacrifice of the brave soldiers.

The speech was delivered in a formal tone. Formal speech/ language is best used for delivering public speeches, to show the professionalism of the speaker. It enables the speech to be taken in a serious tone, away from any form of emotional attachment. But that also doesn't necessarily mean that the speaker values no emotional connection to the words he had spoken.
