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.
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 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. 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.
