-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 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 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.
