Excerpt from The Gettysburg Address, 1063
By Abraham Lincoln
Fou soone and seven years ago. our fathers brought forth upon this continent
a new nation: onceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all
men are created equal... Now we are engaged in a great civil war.. [and
many have died). It is for us the living...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 dedicaled to the great task remaining before us ...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 govermend
of the people...by the people...for the people...shall not perish from this earth.

not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the
