Four score and seven years agoour fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived inliberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are createdequal!

Now we are engaged in a great civil war,testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and sodedicated can long endure! We are met on a great battlefield of thatwar! We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a finalresting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nationmight live! It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this!But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, wecannot hallow this ground! The brave men, living and dead whostruggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add ordetract! The world will little note nor long remember what we sayhere, but it can never forget what they did here!
