THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
"Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new
nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are
created equal.
Now we are engaged ina great civil war, testing whether that nation or any
nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great bat-
tlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a
final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might
live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. 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. It is for us the living rather to be dedicated
here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly
advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining
before us--that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause
for which they gave the last full measure of devotion--that we here highly
resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under God
shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the
people, for the people shall not perish from the earth."
