12. Gettysburg AddressGettysburg Address
November 19, 1863
Four score 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.

13. Gettysburg AddressGettysburg 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. 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.

14. Gettysburg AddressGettysburg Address
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.

15. Gettysburg AddressGettysburg Address
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 here 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.
