ead Lincoln’s statement from "The Gettysburg Address." Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this conti
nent a new nation: conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. In this excerpt, Lincoln uses brevity to make an emotional impact by discussing what freedom meant to the founding fathers. by reminding people that the country was not founded that long ago. by discussing how the founding fathers developed the country. by making a clear point that the country was founded upon equality for all.
While it is true that the founding fathers acted not that long ago, and they did discuss how the country should be governed, and they were concerned about liberties and freedoms and responsibilities, that was not the important point that Lincoln was trying to make.
The main point is that freedom was meant for all citizens and that equality was meant for all citizens.
