    wow!

    have you READ it ?

    how specific does a reference need to be in order to satisfy you?

    reference:

    the WAR: Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing.....

    the BATTLE: "...we cannot consecrate..."

    the CEMETERY:

    "...we have come here to dedicate..."

    I sincerely hope it was not a teacher who is saying there is lack of specific detail...if so..please have them contact me with a phone # or email address!
