Part 1
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth
on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty, and
dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Part 2
• Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether
that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated,
can long endure.
Part 3
We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have
come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting
place for those who here gave their lives that that nation
might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should
do this.
Part 4
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not
consecrate -- we can not hallow this ground. The brave
men, living and dead, who struggled here have
consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.
Part 5
• The world will little note, nor long remember what we say
here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us
the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished
work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly
advanced.
Part 6
It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task
remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we
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 of the people, by the people, for the
people, shall not perish from the earth.
