Summary

First Paragraph

Lincoln begins by saying that the United States was founded "four score and seven," or 87, years ago. The nation's founders dedicated the new country to the principles of liberty and equality.

Second Paragraph

The United States is now fighting a civil war, Lincoln states. This civil war will test if the United States survives as a nation, and whether nations dedicated to liberty and equality can survive at all. He says a great battle was fought at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Everyone assembled is here to dedicate part of this battlefield as a cemetery for the soldiers killed here. This, Lincoln says, is the right thing to do.

Third Paragraph

However, Lincoln continues, the people assembled can't really consecrate this battlefield because the soldiers who fought here have already done so. Their bravery did more to make this field sacred than anything an official could do. Few people will remember today's speeches and ceremonies, but they will remember the soldiers' brave sacrifices. The people who survive must dedicate themselves to completing the work the soldiers began. These brave dead men inspire the living to greater dedication to the cause of liberty because in giving their lives they gave their complete dedication. We must all commit ourselves, Lincoln urges, to carrying on their mission so their deaths have meaning and purpose. We must commit to creating a new era of freedom for America so it—and its democratic principles and government—will survive.
