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. -Abraham Lincoln THE CONFEDERATE STATES OF AMERICA —After South Carolina and Mississippi seceded ________ more states followed: Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana, Texas —These states formed the Confederate States of America (The ______________________________) —__________________________________________, a famous soldier in the Mexican War, was elected President of the Confederate States of America —The 1st capital was in Montgomery, Alabama (later it was moved to Richmond, Virginia THE ATTACK AT FORT SUMTER —Lincoln decided to send needed ________________________ to Fort Sumter —South Carolina authorities decided to attack and __________________ the Fort —The Attack at Fort Sumter resulted in the _______________________ of the American Civil War THE CIVIL WAR: NORTH VS.
