"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."
---Abraham Lincoln; Gettysburg,Thursday, November 19, 1863
