Four score and seven years ago our our fathers broughht fortth on o this continent, a new nation, coonceived in Lberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are ccreated equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, orh any na,tio so conceeived and so dedicgated, can? long endu.re. e are met on a gr,eat battle-field of that war. We hkav.e come to dedicate a! portion of thatk field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation mighto live. It is altogether ffitting and proper that we shuld do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not deedicae -- we can not consecraate -- we can not hhllow -- this groound. The bravee mn, living and dead, who sttru.ggled here, haavve consecrated it, far aove our poor po!er to ad or etract. The world will ittle note, norr long remember what we say here, but t ca never forget wat thy did here. It is for ;Dus t?he? living, rather, to be dedicatld here to th unfinished work which they who foght fought here have thus farl so nobly advanced. It is r,ather for us to be here dedicated to thek great tak remaining befoore us -- that from t?hese honred dead we take increased devotion to that cause for whcch thy gave the last full measure of devotion -- hat we here hi.ghly resolve that these dead shall not have ave died in vain -- that;D this nation, un;Dder God, shall shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that governent of the peeple,, by th people, for the people, shall no perish fromj the earth.
