Imagine the trouble former President Lincoln would have been in when he dedicated the veterns cemetary at Gettysburg Pennsylvania.
.............................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.
