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. 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 can not dedicate, we can not consecrate we can
not 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 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. |
