| Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln | |
| Four score 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 in a great civil war, | |
| testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived | |
| and so dedicated, can long endure. | |
| We are met on a great battlefield 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 the nation might live. | |
| It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. | |
| But, in a large sense, we cannot dedicate-we can not consecrate-we can not hallow-this ground. | |
| The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have connsecrated it far above our poor powers to add or detract. | |
| The world will little note nor long remember what we say 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 tasks remaining before us-that from these dead | |
| we take increased devotion to that cause for which they the last full measure of devotion; | |
| that we here highly resolve that these dead shall have not died in vain; | |
| that this naton, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that the | |
| government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. |
