Gettysburg Address
Abraham Lincoln
November 19, 1863
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania
This is what I know so far:
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.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing
whether that nation, or any nation so conceived
and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on
a great battle-field of that war.
