THE GETTYSBURG ADDRESS
|
|
|
|
|
|
"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 ina great civil war, testing whether that nation or any
|
|
nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great bat-
|
|
tlefield 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 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."
