Fourscore and seven years ago 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. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that this nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate…we cannot consecrate…we cannot hallow…this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. 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 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.

ゲティスバーグ演説、（The Gettysburg Address）とは、
1863年11月19日、ペンシルバニア州ゲティスバーグにある国立戦没者墓地の奉献式において、アメリカ合衆国大統領エイブラハム・リンカーンが行った演説である。ゲティスバーグ演説でリンカーンは、「国民 (Citizen)」という言葉を避け、「人民 (People)」という言葉を使用している。これは二つに割れた国家を再び一つに統合することに腐心していたリンカーンが、南部諸州の人々に特に気を使っていたことがその背景にある。
リンカーンが訴えかけていたのは、北部アメリカ合衆国の国民でも、南部アメリカ連合国の国民でもなく、分け隔てないすべての人民に他ならなかったのである。「合衆国 (Union)」と言う言葉を避け、「国家 (Nation)」と言っているのも、同じ理由からである
