Why was abraham lincoln asked to make a speech at gettysburg? to outline terms of a peace accord to commemorate the grounds of a battlefield to declare victory following a decisive battle to defend his decision to declare war on the south

the answer is commemorate the grounds of the battlefield

Many soldiers died at Gettysburg. I believe it was the bloodiest battle. Lincoln wanted to pay tribute to those who had died and also wanted to let those who were left to clean up the mess and put the pieces back together, to know that the battle was not fought in vain. The battle was about keeping the Union (North and South) together as well as fighting for the rights of others.

Hopefully this helped and good luck.

1. the details that would clarify the authors purpose for writing would be after the "haley collected used soccer jersey and sent them to guatemalan children." part, he would say, "and you can also donate today to save ". so far in the text, you can see no such thing. if, near the end the author persuades you to donate to guatemalans, then you know that the author's reason to write is to persuade you.

2. what details would make the text more engaging is to see the guatemalan children's reaction to getting free jerseys.

3. the details that convey the author's attitude would be an opinion by the author, for example, if he said, "haley was a very nice girl " or, you can find the attitude by finding parts of haley's personality that he highlights. you can strengthen your tones by using more descriptive words, and simplify long sentences as much as you can.
