Gettysburg address

Gettysburg address

Eighty-seven years ago, our ancestors established a new country on this continent, which was conceived in freedom and pursued the idea that all men were created equal.

At present, we are engaged in a great civil war, and we are testing whether this country, or any country with such thoughts and beliefs, can exist for a long time. We gathered in a big field of that war. We came here to dedicate part of the land on that battlefield to those who sacrificed their lives here for the survival of that country as their permanent resting place. It is very reasonable for us to do so.

However, in a deeper sense, we can't dedicate this land-we can't make it a holy place-we can't turn it into a place that people admire. Those brave men who fought here, living and dead, have consecrated this land, which is far beyond our humble ability. The world will pay little attention to, let alone remember, what we have said here for a long time, but they will never forget what these people have done here. On the contrary, we living people should devote ourselves to the unfinished business bravely advanced by those who fought here. We should devote ourselves to the great cause left before us here-because of their glorious sacrifice, we should be more determined to devote ourselves to the cause for which they made the final contribution-we are determined to swear here that they will not sacrifice in vain-this country will gain new freedom under the protection of God-this government of the people, by the people and for the people will last forever.
