When Lincoln says “Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth….” he is referring to the year 1776.
What events in 1776 was Lincoln referring to? What happened 87 years before 1863?
Why might Lincoln refer the audience to think about that particular year when they are burying soldiers who fought in the Civil War?
In reflecting on the founding of the country, Lincoln describes ”...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…” What is Lincoln implying are the reasons for fighting the Civil War? [Hint: Think about equality and freedom.]
What is the “unfinished” work or “great task remaining before” the American people?
What is the “new birth of freedom” Lincoln calls for?
Who benefited from independence and freedom in 1776 and how is that different from who benefits from independence and freedom AFTER the Civil War / Emancipation Proclamation?
Do you think we have lived up to the message in the Gettysburg Address as a nation? Why or why not? Cite one example from US History to support your claim.
