"Fore 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, to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave there lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting an proper that we should do this. Yet, 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 powers to add or detract. The world will little not 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 to the struggle that those who perished her have thus far so nobly advanced; that this nation, under God, will experience a new burst of freedom; that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
