Four score and 7 years agone our fathers brought forth upon 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 ceremonious war, testing whether that nation, or any nation and then conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a smashing battle-field of that war. We take come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a concluding resting identify 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 non dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this footing. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, take consecrated it, far in a higher place our poor power to add or backbite. The globe volition niggling note, nor long remember what we say here, merely information technology can never forget what they did hither. It is for the states the living, rather, to exist dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly avant-garde. Information technology is rather for the states to be here dedicated to the smashing task remaining before us—that from these honored expressionless we have increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure out of devotion—that nosotros here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new nascence of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall non perish from the globe.
—Abraham Lincoln
