According to "the words that remade america: lincoln at gettysburg" by garry wills, which statements are true? i. secretary of war edwin stanton had arranged for a 6: 00 a. m. train to take lincoln to gettysburg, but lincoln understood the margin for error that must always by built into planning. so lincoln countermanded stanton's and planned to depart from washington the day before the scheduled ceremony. ii. lincoln was a revolutionary in the sense that in the gettysburg address he not only presented the declaration of independence in a new light, as a matter of founding law, but put its central proposition, equality, in a newly favored position as a principle of the constitution. iii. although the gettysburg address is famous for being brief, it specifically mentioned slavery, the union, the south, and the emancipation proclamation. iv. when lincoln arrived in gettysburg late in the day of november 18, he went to gettysburg keystone hotel where he gave a formal, lengthy address that evening and later spent the night. v. myths abound how lincoln composed his speech, for example jotting his brief remarks on the back of an envelope or writing them on a piece of cardboard as the train. these mythical accounts are badly out of character for lincoln, who composed his speeches thoughtfully.
