Best Answer

Lincoln reminded us that we were a "nation conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men were created equal" and that no other nation so conceived and so dedicated could long endure, but were engaged in a great civil war." He went on to say that this was a test and that it was up to the nation to keep the ideals that founded this country. That the men who fought at Gettysburg gave their "last full measure" to ensure that the country would continue.
