87 years ago, the Founding Fathers created a brand new country here based on the idea that everyone is equal. Now, we are at war with ourselves, and this war is testing whether that kind of country can survive. A battle of this war was fought right here where we are standing. We are here today to dedicate a part of this battlefield as a cemetery for the soldiers that died here. This is the right thing to do. There is no way that we can ever bless this ground today more than the soldiers that died here already have. We can’t even come close. No one is going to care or remember the words we say here, but no one can ever forget what those soldiers did here. It’s up to the rest of us that are still alive to dedicate ourselves to finishing what these soldiers have started. It’s up to us to dedicate ourselves to saving the country, and remind ourselves that people have died for this cause. We have to promise that the soldiers here did not die for nothing. We have to promise that this country, under God, will be free again. We have to promise that a country that is made up of the people, was created by the people, and made to serve the people can exist in this world.
No, Jamestown was first English colony in the New World (America).
Explanation:
- The founding of Jamestown, the first permanent English colony in America, Virginia in 1607 - 13 years before settlers came to Plymouth, Massachusetts - caused a series of cultural events that helped shape the nation and the world at large.
- The governance, language, customs, beliefs, and aspirations of these first Virginia citizens are all part of the United States' heritage today.
- The colony was funded by the Virginia Company of London, a group of investors hoping to profit from the venture.
- The company was leased by King James I in 1606, and at that time the company also represented English national interests - counterbalancing the spread of other European nations beyond the native territories, seeking a northwest passage to the Orient and converting local Indians to the Anglican faith.
