Explanation:

Roosevelt explicitly calls for personal sacrifice (including tax increases) to support democratic defense efforts. Lincoln's Gettysburg Address centers on a war testing the survival of a nation founded on democratic ideals, where soldiers made the ultimate sacrifice for those principles.
