The Gettysburg Address Animated

As every student in the US should know, Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address. In fact, it might be the most recited, referenced, and analyzed speech ever delivered by a President of the United States.

Today, on the Open Culture blog I found a new video featuring Mitch Rapoport (you might not recognize the name, but you'll recognize his voice) reciting the Gettysburg Address while text and images illustrate the themes of the Gettysburg Address. The imagery starts out slowly, but really gains momentum around the midpoint of the video.
