    Analyzing  the  Gettysburg  Address  


     
    Abraham  Lincoln’s  words  of  the   What  the  Gettysburg  Address    
    Gettysburg  Address:   means  to  me:  
    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.    

    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.  
    Name  ______________________________________  
    Abraham  Lincoln’s  words  of  the     What  the  Gettysburg  Address    
    Gettysburg  Address:   means  to  me:  
    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  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.
