Quotation 1: Quotation 2: Quotation 3:

Answer 1

Answer: The correct statement is "US citizens must dedicate themselves to the preservation of the nation and freedom for all."

This is clearly the correct answer based on the Gettysburg Address. One piece of evidence that supports this is where Lincoln states:

"our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. 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 quote directly references the idea of equality and freedom as being foundational beliefs to America.

Lincoln goes on to discuss how the individuals being remembered today shall have not died "in vain." Lincoln suggests that the US honor their legacy by continuing their fight to establish a nation based on the ideas of freedom and liberty.
