Franklin Roosevelt's Four Freedoms Message to Congress
I address you, the Members of the Seventy-seventh Congress, at a moment unprecedented in the history of the Union. I use the word "unprecedented," because at no
previous time has American security been as seriously threatened from without as it is today.
Since the permanent formation of our Government under the Constitution, in 1789, most of the periods of crisis in our history have related to our domestic affairs.
Fortunately, only one of these-the four-year War Between the States--ever threatened our national unity. Today, thank God, one hundred and thirty million Americans, in
forty-eight States, have forgotten points of the compass in our national unity.
Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
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, clong endure.
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 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.
