"I should be glad, if I could flatter myself that I came as near to the central idea of the occasion, in two hours, as you did in two minutes.“ (Edward Everett)

“(...) who here gave their lives that that nation might live.”

“(…) The world will no longer remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.“

Past = Founding fathers signed the Declaration of Independence Present = first state cemetery to honour fallen soldiers Future = fragile new formed nation has to fight for equality and freedom, the values of the American people

“(…) 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.“

“(…) Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation.” (Martin Luther King)

American democracy and equality today
