For this project, I thought it would be great to incorporate a scary theme with a prominent historical event. With Halloween drawing near, the spooky and almost threatening sounds paired with a prestigious speech seemed fitting. I have always had a fondness for the civil war, and I felt it appropriate given the current state of our country, It seems almost as if we will enter another civil war. And while slavery is abolished, systemic racism still controls people of color's lives. The Gettysburg Address was made at a very raw time in American history, with the country separated and the tide of the war favoring the Union. Lincoln aimed to give the American people hope for a better country. Hope is just what our current country could use now. Yet in keeping with the scary theme, the sounds are supposed to grow more intense until the speaker meets a certain demise, mirroring Lincoln's assassination.
