Download The Relationship Between "the Citizen" and the State

Stephoney Fogle, Hastings High School, Houston, Texas
This set of high school social studies lessons asks students to consider of the meaning
of citizenship by analyzing nineteenth century definitions of that idea and how they
serve to include and exclude various groups of people in the United States. It uses
guided document analysis methods to help students see the various points of view
that were present and then asks the students to show their mastery of the issues and
concepts by creating original graphics that are associated with the topic.

Gettysburg Address
Four score 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 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 -- and that government of the people, by
the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
