Today in history

Here are just some of the events on this date in the past.

•	On this day in 1863: President Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address at the dedication of the military cemetery at the site of the Pennsylvania battlefield, urging Americans to carry on the unfinished work in the struggle for freedom and equality and so honor those who fought and died for “that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion.”
•	1942: In a major turning point in World War II, the Soviet army launched a counterattack at Stalingrad, which had been targeted by the Germans in an attempt to control valuable oil wells. German forces eventually surrendered in January 1943.
•	1977: Egyptian President Anwar Sadat visited Israel, becoming the first Arab leader to do so, on a trip to speak to Israel’s Knesset (on Nov. 20) about the prospect of peace. Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin approved framework agreements in the Camp David Accords the following year, then signed a peace treaty in 1979, and the two shared the Nobel Peace Prize in 1978.
•	1998: The House Judiciary Committee began impeachment hearings against President Bill Clinton. Clinton was eventually impeached on one count of perjury to a grand jury and one of obstruction of justice, though he was acquitted in his Senate trial.
•	2006: Nintendo released its Wii platform in North America, allowing gameplay through traditional controls or motion sensing controls.
•	2007: Amazon started selling the Kindle, an electronic reader. Then they stopped selling it. The device sold out in 5 1/2 hours.
