Wow. What a myopic view. You need to know your history so it isn’t repeated, and the reason for the Gettysburg Address, and it’s continuing legacy in our country, is very appropriate to our current situation.
Knowing the significance of the Gettysburg Address and remembering who read it are two different things. I can’t recite the first amendment, but I know in summary it’s free speech. I could probably guess but not say definitively who signed it, and for the most part, it doesn’t matter. If I need to know that, I’ll look it up, but the contents of the document itself it what matters. I have an okay general view of history, which is enough to not repeat it. I don’t need to remember the specifics and neither do most people.
Idk who delivered the address. As an American, is there a reason I should give a shit as general knowledge?
The answer is no. It doesn’t fucking matter day to day.

Don’t forget about the first amendment freedoms of the press, assembly, and petitioning the government.
No, only freeze peach!
If you know what the Gettysburg address is about, I’d be absolutely shocked if you didn’t know who delivered it.
It was Abraham Lincoln.
Yeah who cares about Lincoln anyway.
