What point of view does Lincoln express in this excerpt from the Gettysburg Address?
But in a larger sense we can not dedicate-we can not consecrate we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who
struggled here, have consecrated
it far above our power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it
can never forget
what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here
have thus far so nobly advanced. It is
rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us; that from these honoured dead
we take increased
devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; 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,
and for the people, shall not perish
from this earth.
