Although there are no words, phrases, or references attached, we can do research and answer the following.
"Four score and seven years ago our father brought forth on this continent, a new nation..." was the beginning of a speech that referred to the American Revolution (1776), which was the Independence war when the Continental Army led by General George Washington defeated the British troops.
"...conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to proposition that all men are created equal." This upheld the idea (expressed in the Declaration of Independence) of liberty and equality for ALL. The Declaration of Independence was promulgated on July 4, 1776.
"Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure." This refers to the idea that the American Civil War was a test of democracy.
"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." This refers to the purpose of the ceremony that was held on November 18, 1863. It was known as the Gettysburg address.
"...that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion..." This refers to Lincoln's idea that the dead inspire the living.
"...and that government of the people, by the people, for the people..." This reaffirmed the idea of government by consent of the people, as it was expressed in the Constitution of the United States.

In 1818, the United States and Britain agreed to a "joint occupation" of Oregon, allowing citizens of both countries to settle there. Over the next several decades, American and British settlers came to Oregon for different reasons. The British came mostly for the fur trade, while Americans came to be missionaries or to start farms or larger settlements. By the 1840s, Americans outnumbered their British compatriots, and the fur trade was no longer as lucrative as it had once been. American expansionists — among them President James Polk — were increasingly looking to end the joint occupation and claim Oregon for America alone. Finding themselves in a weakened position, the British agreed to negotiate.
Negotiations between the United States and Britain over the Oregon Country began in the summer of 1845. Because any states that would eventually be formed out of the territory would be free states, anti-slavery Northerners were strongly in favor of acquiring as much of the territory as possible. America's first proposal was that the territory be divided roughly in half, with the boundary drawn at the 49th parallel. When the British rejected this offer, expansionist Northerners called for greater American aggression, using the slogan "Fifty-Four Forty or Fight!" ("Fifty-four Forty" referred to the latitude line marking the northernmost boundary of the territory.) Pro-slavery Southern Congressmen, however, made it clear that they would not support a war with Britain over the territory.
Britain did not want to go to war over the issue either, and in 1846, the two countries reached an agreement to divide the territory at the 49th parallel. Oregon Country would later become the modern-day states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, as well as portions of Montana and Wyoming.</span></span>
