LINCOLN'S
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 IN A GREAT CIVIL WAR, TESTING
WHETHER THAT NATION, OR ANY NATION SO CONCERNED 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 THAT NATION MIGHT LIVE.
IT IS ALTOGETHER FITTING ANG 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 GOVERN-
MENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE
PEOPLE, SHALL NOT PERISH FROM THE EARTH.
