Gettysburg Address
The Gettysburg Address took place on November 19,1863.The Gettysburg Address is a famous speech delivered by the United States 16th president Abraham Lincoln at the dedication of the people who took place in the Battle of Gettysburg.The Gettysburg Address says: Four scores and seven years ago our four fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are all created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are meet on so great battlefield of that war. We have come here to dedicate a portion of that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But,in a larger sense,we can not consecrate - we can not hollow - 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 tale increased devotion that which they gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that these dead shall not mew birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, shall not perish from the earth.
