ABRAHAM LINCOLN
Lincoln's famous speech- FULL VERSION
Fourscore 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 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
that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper
that we should do this.
19
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 the earth.
