19 nov 1863 ano - Gettysburg Address

Descrição:

At the dedication of the new national cemetery at Gettysburg, four months after the battle, Lincoln honored the fallen and linked their sacrifice to the survival of a nation “conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.” He closed his 272-word address by declaring “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.”
