 rg\, Pa\n\nNov. 19th 1863\n\n“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 ar
 e engaged in a great civil war\, testing whether that nation\, or any nati
 on 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 nat
 ion 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 our poor power to add or detract. Th
 e world will little note\, nor long remember\, what we say here\, but it c
 an 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 t
 hus 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 inc
 reased 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 die
 d in vain\, that this nation\, under God\, shall have a new birth of freed
 om\, and that government of the people\, by the people\, for the people\, 
 shall not perish from the earth.”
