87 years ago, this country was founded on the principles of democracy. Now we are engaged in a civil war that will test whether that country can stand. The world will not remember what we said here, but it will remember what happened here. The living must take up the work of those who died at this battle site so the devoted will not have died in vain. This country will have a new birth of freedom for the government of the people, by the people and for the people that will not perish from this earth.
