GRADE 10

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth, upon 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. 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.

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. 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. 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 here
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.
