Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, given November 19, 1863
-
on the battlefield near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, USA
-
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 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 this 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 this earth.
