Detailed explanation-1: -In the address, Lincoln says, “The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.” When he is saying this, Lincoln is explaining how nobody will remember what people think or say, unless the American people pull together and do something.
Detailed explanation-2: -If you’ve received a good education, you might even be able to recite it from memory. Everyone knows the irony of that line where Lincoln says “the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here”-ironic because his brief dedicatory remarks have become the most famous American speech.
Detailed explanation-3: -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.
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.
