four score And seven years ago, our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation conceived in liberty, dedicated to the proposition that all are created equal. Now we're 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 battlefield of that war We have come to dedicate a portion of that field is the final resting place for those who here gave their lives that the nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this, but in a larger sense way 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. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here. But it could never forget what they did Here it is for us the living rather to be dedicated here with 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 test remaining before us that from these 100 dead way 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 off the people by the people for the people shall not perish from the earth.
