Answer:
Ethics
Explanation:
In this excerpt of the Gettysburg Address, Lincoln makes an appeal to ethics. An appeal to ethics, or ethos, occurs when a reference to the credibility of a speaker is made on moral grounds, in order to make a case more persuasive. In this case, the author is making a reference to the moral quality of those who died in Gettysburg. He tells us that these men were brave, and that they fought nobly. He also tells us that their remarkable task now falls unto us. The author wants us to be persuaded by the morality of his argument.
