Ideas For A Gettysburg Address Project

Creative title for Civil War project? Best answer to my favorite idea!!?

I am doing a project on 3 aspects of the Civil War: the Battle of Gettysburg, the Battle of Vicksburg, and the Gettysburg Address.

I need a creative title and the best I can come up with is: "The Turning Point of the Civil War". Not very catchy or creative, I know.

Any ideas? Preferably it would have to do with, well, the fact that these events helped to change the tide of the war, but it doesn't necessarily have to.

What affect did the gettysburg addres have on america?

Lincoln's carefully crafted address, secondary to other presentations that day, came to be regarded as one of the greatest speeches in American history. In just over two minutes, Lincoln invoked the principles of human equality espoused by the Declaration of Independence and redefined the Civil War as a struggle not merely for the Union, but as "a new birth of freedom" that would bring true equality to all of its citizens, create a unified nation in which states' rights were no longer dominant, defined democracy in terms of government
of the people, by the people, for the people, and defined republicanism in terms of freedom, equality and democracy.
