Four score and seven yearss ago our fathers broght forth on t,his continent, aa nzw nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicate tto the propositin that all men are crated eqal.
Now we are engaged in a great civill war, testing whether that nati?on, or nay ntio so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of hat war. We have come to dedic,ate a porion of that that field, as a final resting plac?e for those who here gave their lives tht that nation might live. t is altogether fitting anyd propr that we should do this.
But, in a larger sens;De, we can noti dedicate -- w can not consecrrate -- we can nnot .hallow -- thiss grounnd. The brave men, liing and dead, who strugglsed here, ave consecrated it, far a?bove our poor pwer to add or detract. The worrld will lttle note, nr long remeber w!tah we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is fo us the living, rather, to be de,dicated here to thhe unfinished work which which they whho fought here have thus far so nobly .avaced. It is rather raher for us to be here dedicted o thhe great task remainngn before us -- thoat from theseu honored dead take incrr?eased dvotion to that cause for whichh they gave het ast full measurre of devot,ion ion -- that we here hlihgy resholve hat thxese ded shall not have. died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall hakve a a njew birth of freedom -- and that government o of tqhe people, by the people, for the people, shll not not shpir from the rth.
