Gettysburg Address
Gettysburg Address:
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth,
upon 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…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 here
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.
