in "the gettysburg address," president lincoln argues that all those who have come to gettysburg to dedicate the cemetery there cannot "consecrate" or "hallow" the ground. that is, neither he nor anyone else can confer honor upon this place.
is lincoln's reasoning in support of this argument sound?

yes, because he points out that to make gettysburg an honored place would be to celebrate the awful violence and destruction of war.

no, because he ultimately asserts that his speech remembering those who died at gettysburg will turn the battlefield into a shrine.

no, because he later states that gettysburg was already viewed as a sanctified or holy place long before the battle was fought there.

yes, because he then notes that the courageous sacrifices of those who died there have already made gettysburg a place of honor and solemn respect.
