Detailed explanation-1: -Abraham Lincoln Quotes. 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.
Detailed explanation-2: -What this quote is saying is by continuing the fight the audience would insure the deaths of those who died in battle would not be in vain. If they gave up on the cause of the war, then those who died would have died for a lost cause making their deaths in vain.
Detailed explanation-3: -Why does Lincoln include the phrase “that these dead shall not have died in vain” in the Gettysburg Address? To encourage feelings of responsibility to continue fighting for the cause.
Detailed explanation-4: -The main message of the Gettysburg Address is that ideals are worth dying for and that it is up to the living to carry on the work of those who died to protect ideals. The ideals of equality and freedom are the bedrock of the United States as a nation.
