How did Lincoln describe the men who fought in the war? What was the “great task” that Lincoln described? Who would be responsible for carrying out this task? It was a new nation conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. It would test whether a nation conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal can long endure. They gave their lives so that their nation might live. They were brave men whose struggles had consecrated the ground. That this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. The living should be dedicated to the task. The nation’s founding ideals Activity 5 Think and share 1. Lincoln talked about government “of the people, by the people, for the people”. What does this mean? “Of the people” means that government should be made up of or drawn from the people; “by the people” means that government should be run by ordinary people; “for the people” means that government should use its power for the people’s benefit. Activity 5 Think and share 2. What literary device does the speaker use in the sentences? Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure. But in a larger sense, we can not dedicate – we can not consecrate –we can not hallow this ground. 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 here gave the last full measure of devotion – that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. I Have a Dream addressed by Martin Luther King I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today!
