Read the excerpt from Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate—we cannot consecrate—we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
Lincoln uses parallelism in this excerpt to
acknowledge the limitations of the memorial ceremony.
criticize the audience for its disinterest in the war.
encourage soldiers to continue the fight for national unity.
emphasize the need for improved military strategy.

Answer:
He uses parallelism in this excerpt to encourage soldiers to continue the fight for national unity.
Explanation:
That is absolutely because he wanted to signify the extraordinary sacrifices which were already made by those soldiers who fought and died to the end on that battlefield which itself was a bigger act than any other could perform this noble act now, or ever, in ordaining the earth on which they perished.
