13.(MC) Read this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and then answer the question that follows:
(1) Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation: concelved 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 concelved and so dedicated ... can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war.
(2) We have come to dedicate portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that this nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do
this. But, In a larger sense, we cannot dedicate ... we cannot consecrate... we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above ou
poor power add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
