re: #238 SanFranciscoZionist

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.

And now you know. (I always pick new stuff up from questions I miss on this kind of thing.)

I’ll tell you what, that one is burned into my brain now. I’ll never miss that question again. Or the one about the wall between church & state. Or the one about Lincoln’s debate with Douglas.
