Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. 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 government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.~The Gettysburg Address

I'm excited! I received a call this afternoon from the Civil War speaker we had last week! He has asked my class to sing CW songs for the background music of a video he is making about the war and has requested that several students recite the Gettysburg Address as well. This video
will have footage from Civil War re-enactments held throughout the south and will be show. All over the place!! I'm honored that he liked our singing enough and was impressed enough by the class that we have been asked to do this! It sounds fun and the students will be SO excited!!

The Memorizational Advantage
There was a time when schools made us memorize trivia. I think that is why a lot of people dislike history. Why should we know all of the presidents in order? Will we really use that information? The educational system has changed and memorization now often takes a back seat. But memorization is a very important technique for children to master. Sadly, many students today have no idea how to memorize anything.
Make memorization part of your summer schedule. Find various significant things for them to memorize and then let them choose. Shel Silverstein poems are great fun, Who’s on First provides fun pun learning for middle schoolers. Go on to tongue twisters, longer poetry, famous sayings, and scripture. Have them learn songs, jokes, the Gettysburg Address, Martin Luther King’s Speech…
How? Start with small selections and learn a few lines at a time. Each day review what was learned and then add on a bit more. Your name, your phone number or your address are good for younger children who do not know them yet. Putting it to a tune or rhythm helps. Make it fun.
Why? It is easiest to learn new skills like the ability to memorize when you are young. As students they will need to learn facts for tests, projects, plays, experiments, etc. If you want your child to be creative he/she will need to have a lot of relevant information available to draw from.
Teach them how to associate things when they memorize. Show them how to alphabetize when they are learning lists. Look online for help in ways to aid memorization. There are many tips and tricks. Children like to memorize and recite and they are capable of more than most parents normally envision.
Students who have learned how to memorize have a distinct advantage over students who have not. As adults they will need to remember many things. Can you imagine a surgeon using notes to see where a muscle is located or a lawyer who needs to refer to notes constantly? YIKES! Give your children the memorizational advantage. It is fun and smart.

Congratulations to my son Quinton. He is now considered a Great American at school. He recited the Gettysburg Address, the preamble, all the presidents(in order). Filled out a map with all the states and capitals. Wrote out the pledge with no grammatical errors and sang the national anthem. I am so proud if him.

Recite that Gettysburg Address!

When Abraham said that all men are created equal in the Gettysburg Address, he meant to say all men are born equal ie during birth but not necessarily equal few years after birth. Some people re just genetically superior people like him

For those who keep on saying the Pacific Islander Protection Act 1872-75 had anything to do with Australia, the key words in here are " and provisions." "so far as they are part of the law of Australia or of an external Territory".(My emphasis)
CRIMINAL CODE AMENDMENT ( SLAVERY AND SEXUAL SERVITUDE) ACT 1999 NO. 104, 1999 - SCHEDULE 2
- Repeal of Imperial Acts
1 Repeal of certain Imperial Acts relating to slavery
The Imperial Acts and provisions of Imperial Acts specified in this Schedule are repealed, "so far as they are part of the law of Australia or of an external Territory".(My emphasis)
Pacific Islanders Protection Act 1873 (35 & 36 Victoria, ch 19)
2 The whole of the Act
Repeal the Act.
Pacific Islanders Protection Act 1875 (38 & 39 Victoria, ch 51)
3 The whole of the Act
Repeal the Act.

Gettysburg was an amazing experience today … pics will need to come later as we were up early and I am pooped (it's a 2-1/2 hour+ drive from Philly). But in a nutshell, we saw the Cyclorama (amazing!!) and hired a guide to drive our car around the Gettysburg site (which is massive) for over 2 hours -- he was so passionate about Gettysburg; he talked fluidly, was interesting and had absolutely no notes (he's been a guide for 27 years). The monuments on the battlefield are one of the largest collections of outdoor sculptures in the world. The NPS manages 1,320 monuments and over 400 cannons. We ended our day by standing on the same mound where Lincoln gave his Gettysburg address which is now Gettysburg National Cemetery. It was an incredible and very humbling day ...

Encourage with Your Words
“But my mouth would encourage you; comfort from my lips would bring you relief” (Job 16:5). The spoken word is powerful, and spoken words of encouragement can bring great comfort. The idea is not to speak many words, but the right words. Consider this:
· The Lord’s Prayer contains 71 words.
· The Gettysburg Address contains 272 words.
· The Ten Commandments contains 139 words.
· The Declaration of Independence contains 1323 words.
· A U.S. government order setting the price of cabbage contains 26,911 words.
When it comes to words with impact, being long-winded is not a value. But speaking the right words can be life changing - Mary Southerland
