Transcribed Image Text:The
Gettysburg Address
Abraham
Lincoln
Gettysburg,
Pennsylvania
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.
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.
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 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
