      Lincoln's Gettysburg Address / Given November 19, 1863 on the battlefield near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, USA

      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 battlefield of that war.
