EXPLANATIONS BELOW
Concept note-1: -So instead of coming to dedicate the ground, Lincoln says that the people are there to be dedicated to “the unfinished work” of the devoted soldiers-that is, the preservation of the Union and its ideals of liberty and equality.
Concept note-2: -Gettysburg National Cemetery Entrance The cemetery is famous throughout the world as the site of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, delivered at the cemetery’s dedication ceremony four and a half months after the battle.
Concept note-3: -“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.”
