Select the correct text in the passage.
In which part of this excerpt from the Gettysburg Address does President Abraham Lincoln argue that the outcome of the war will depend on the
determination and loyalty of Northern citizens?
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. We are met on a
great battle-field of that
war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation
might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that
we should do this.
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 poor 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 honored 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, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
