what was one of the purposes of president lincolns gettysburg address?

a. to ask the insurgents to surrender their arms and their land

b. to share the armys strategic plan if war were to break out

c. to convince the public that the sacrifices of war had been worthwhile

d. to ask for peace and offer the insurgents part of what they demanded

Explanation:

The Gettysburg Address was delivered by Lincoln to honor the soldiers who died at Gettysburg. Option A is incorrect as the address wasn't about asking insurgents to surrender arms/land. Option B is wrong because it didn't share military strategies. Option D is incorrect as it didn't offer insurgents their demands. Option C is correct because Lincoln aimed to show that the war's sacrifices (like those at Gettysburg) were for a just cause (preserving the Union and advancing freedom) and thus worthwhile.

Answer:

C. To convince the public that the sacrifices of war had been worthwhile
