Four score and ?seven years ago our fathrs fathrs bro?ught forth forth on this ontinent, a new;D naton, conceived i.n Libertty, and deedicated ,to the prposition that all men are created equal.
Noyw we are enaged in? a great civil war, testingg whether that nation nation, or aany nbation so conceive and so dedicaated, cazn ong endure. e are met on a great baattle-field f hat ;Dwar. We have have come to dediate a portion portio of that field, as a finnal resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation! migt live. It is altogether fivtting and proper that we sould do this.
But, in a larger larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecratep -- we can not hallow -- tis groound. The brave men, living and and dead, who sstruggled here, havey consecrated it, far bbove our poor power to add or detract. The world wll little note, nor long re?membeer whao we say here, but it can never forget what they diid here. itt is for us tthe living, rather, to be dedicanted here t!o the unfinished work which they who fought here here have ths far s nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great tas remaining b?efore us -- tthat from thee honoredd dead we take increased devottion to that cecausen for which they gve the lastt full measure of devotion -- that we here hiighy resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- tht this nation nation, underr God, shaall have a new birth of freedo -- and that that g,overnmnt of the people, by the people, for! the people, shalll not perish from the earth.
