It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us that from these honored dead we take increased de
votion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion that 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. Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address, 1863 Which phrase does Lincoln use in this passage to inspire a sense of hope in his audience? A. died in vain B. measure of devotion C. honored dead D. a new birth
Lincoln encourages people to think about "a new birth" of freedom. He praised the penances of the individuals who died at Gettysburg with regards to those principles and lead his audience into a sense of hope.
In this speech, Lincoln uses the idea of a "new birth" in order to inspire a sense of hope in his audience. He tells us that in the past, men died at Gettysburg in order to protect the freedom of the country. Now, it is everyone's duty to ensure that this sacrifice was not in vain, and that the country overcomes the war and remains united and free. Lincoln, therefore, gives the audience a new sense of purpose, as well as a new sense of hope.
