Answer 2

Answer:

for people to continue the unfinished work of the soldiers

Explanation:

Lincoln, who gave this speech in 1863 during the Civil War, wanted people to build a nation equal for everybody. In fact, he gave this speech in the Soldier's National Cemetery after the Union army had defeated the Confederacy. Lincoln honoured the dead soldiers and called for a democratic and equal nation.  Ordinary people had to go on working for the construction of this nation. "....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.", these words from his speech showed Lincoln's intentions.
