"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 ar 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 that 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 freedon, and that the government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from the earth." By the Act of Congress of June 14, 1777, it was resolved that the Flag of the United States would consist of thirteen stripes, alternating red and white and that the Union be represented by thirteen white stars upon a blue field. One by one as the States entered the Union, another star was added until today our Flag has forty-eight stars, one for each State in Union.
