THIS WEEK IN HISTORY: Lincoln Delivers the Gettysburg Address
On November 19, 1863, at the dedication of a military cemetery at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, during the American Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln delivers one of the most
memorable speeches in American history. In just 272 words, Lincoln brilliantly and
movingly reminded a war-weary public why the Union had to fight, and win, the Civil War.
Thanksgiving Day is a national holiday celebrated primarily in Canada and the United
States as a day of giving thanks for the blessing of the harvest and of the preceding year.
It is celebrated on the second Monday of October in Canada and on the fourth Thursday
of November in the United States. Several other places around the world observe similar
celebrations. Thanksgiving has its historical roots in religious and cultural traditions and
has long been celebrated in a secular manner as well.
