ADDRESS AT THE DEDICATION OF
GETTYSBURG CEMETERY
NOVEMBER 10, 1863.
Fourscore and seven years ago
our fathers brought forth upon
this continent new nation, con.
ceived in liberty, and dedicated
to the proposition that all men
are created free and equal. Now
we are engaged in great civil
war, testing whether that nation,
or any nation 80 conceived and so
dedicated, can long endure. We
have come to dedicate portion
of that field as a final resting.
place for those who here gave
their lives that that nation might
live. 1t 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 con.
secrated it far above our power
to add or detract. The world
will little note, nor long remem-
Der, what we say here, but it can
never forget what they did here.
1t is for us, the living, rather to
be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought
here have thus far so nobly al.
vanced. 1t Is rather for us to be
here dedicated to the great task
remaining before us. that from
these honored dead we take in
creased 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 new birth of freedom, and
that the government of the peo.
pie, by the people. and for the
;; people, shall not perish from the
earth.
