The answer is Parallel construction and Loaded language

The parallel construction refers to the repetition of a chosen grammatical form within a sentence or paragraph. It uses word, phrases or clauses that are grammatically similar or identical in structure, sound, meaning, or meter. It aims to show that the ideas are equally important and to give a natural flow while reading the piece of writing.

Lincoln uses it in the following excerpt: "we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground." He chooses to repeat the grammatical form: pronoun + cannot + verb base.

Loaded language is found in any type of speech that uses words and phrases that has a strong connotations that appeals to the audience's emotions. Lincoln uses this type of language in the Gettysburg Address, as a way to appeal to the emotion of the loved ones of those who died in the American Civil war and to honor, in some way, the memory of the fallen soldiers.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
