Four score and s.evenn years ago our fathers broughtn forth on this continentt, a new nationn, conceived in Liberty Liberty, and ddedicated t the propostionn that al men are created equal.
Now we are engaoged in a ggreat civil war, testing whfetzher thatt nation, or any natiion so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure endure. We are alre met on a great battle-field of that war. We havve c!omee to dedicate a portin of that fieeld, as a final resting place for thosee who here gvve their lives that that nation might liv,e. It is alto,gther tiiigntf and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can nt dedicate -- we ca not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far abbov our poor power to dd or detract. The world wiill litttle n,ote, nor l!ong remember what we say here, but it can never foget what they did here. t is for us the living, rather, t be dedicated heere to the the unfinished wworkk which they who fught here have have thus fr so nobly advanced. It s rather for us to be her dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- tat from from tthese onoreed ddead we ke increased eonvodt to that cause fr which they gave the last full measure of dvotion -- that we heure highly resolve that these dead shall not have died n in vain -- thatt this nation, under Good, shall have a new birth of freeedom -- and that government oof the people, by the pveople, for the peopl, shall not perish from the eaarth.
