Reаd the sоurce belоw, then аnswer the questiоn thаt follows. Source: Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address, 1863 Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us... that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. Question: In one thoughtful paragraph, explain what Lincoln is saying about the meaning of the Civil War. Your answer should include: one main idea from the source, one specific phrase or detail from the excerpt, and one connection to a larger course theme, such as democracy, equality, freedom, conflict, sacrifice, or historical memory. Focus on what the source helps us understand about how Americans have argued over freedom and democracy.
