Four
on
this
score and seven years ago
fathers brought forth
our
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 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
government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the
and that
earth.
--
Abraham Lincoln/November 19, 1863
