Because its part of
The Gettysburg AddressFour 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 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.
"...and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. " is the last line of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. See the link below.Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln wrote it, in 1863 on the occasion of dedicating the cemetery at Gettysburg (PA) on November 19. It was part of his short - but famous - address on this occasion, and he ended with the phrase "...that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
That exact phrase comes from Abraham Lincoln's "Gettysburg Address", but the idea that governments can only be legitimate when the people themselves control them is much older. ______________________________________________________________________ Well, somebody's got a way with words! Anyways, the answer is, yes, ABRAHAM Lincoln. Lu, meh!
Whatever you are, be a good one
"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, that the governmnt of the people, by the pepole, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. "...and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth."
"Shall not perish from the Earth" is a complex way of saying "Will not disappear from the planet". In the Gettysburg Address, where this phrase is from, Lincoln argues that the US Civil War is a test about whether a democratic nation has any long-term staying power on the Earth.
