Select the two sentences in "The Gettysburg Address" that describe the claim about how the Union should view this turning point in the Civil War
The Gettysburg Address
Four 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 battle-field 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
Abraham Lincoln
November 19, 1863
