16. Civil War The Gettysberg Address
“Fourscore and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the purpose that all men are created equal”
Abraham Lincoln, 1863

17. Civil War The Gettysberg Address
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure.
Abraham Lincoln, 1863

18. Civil War The Gettysberg Address
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.
Abraham Lincoln, 1863

19. Civil War The Gettysberg Address
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.

20. Civil War The Gettysberg Address
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 may take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion --

21. Civil War The Gettysberg Address
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, 1863
