"…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."
On
this day, 150 years ago, the Soldiers' National Cemetery at
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania was dedicated. President Abraham Lincoln delivered in
two minutes what would become one of the most widely known speeches, the
Gettysburg Address.
