Nation example essay topic

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this contenant 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 weather that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those WHO HERE gave the lives that that nation might live. It is all together fitting and proper that we do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot concentrate, we cannot hollow this group.

The brave men living and dead who struggled here have concentrated 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 that they who fought here have thus so far nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great tasks remaining before us- THAT FROM THESE HONORED DEAD WE TAKE INCREASED DEVIATION TO THE CAUSE FOR WHICH THEY GAVE THEIR 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 GOV. OF THE PPL, BY THE PPL.

FOR THE PPL SHALL NOT PERISH DROP THE EARTH.
