Question

Select the correct text in the passage. In which part of this excerpt from the Gettysburg Address does President Abraham Lincoln argue that the outcome of the war will depend on the determination and loyalty of Northern citizens? Four score 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 that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not 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.

Answer 1

The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add and detract.

Step-by-step explanation:

As in the passage Abraham Lincoln know that people are going to be dead on a large scale and many innocent lives will be gone after the civil war, but he tries to assure people that their lost lives will not go in vain, it's going to make society a better place to live and people will always remember their sacrifice.

Back then the northern men were fighting for their rights, Abraham Lincoln the 16th president of us led the war to preserve union and abolish slavery and strengthen the government. At last the thirteenth amendment of us outlawed slavery and of course the sacrifices were not in vain. It was addressed by him in 1863 and it was spoken to people of North for their support and loyalty towards the war. He's also known as the martyr hero for this achievement and one of the important person in modernizing united States economy
