Question

On your own Word, rewrite the third paragraph of the Gettysburg Address. Try to maintain its power and meaning but use modern language

Answer 1

Answer:

We must dedicate ourselves here if we are to continue the work of the dead. Rather, we should come here to draw inspiration from the honored dead and increase our commitment to the cause they died for. That this nation, under God, will have a fresh birth of freedom and that the government of the people, by the people, for the people will be restored.

Explanation:

Original Paragraph below:

It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here 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.
