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 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 battle-field 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.

the South from the North didn’t exist anymore
