Read the excerpts from Roosevelt’s "Four Freedoms" speech and Lincoln’s
"Gettysburg Address.”
Roosevelt:
Since the beginning of our American history, we have been engaged in change—in a perpetual peaceful revolution—a revolution which goes on steadily, quietly adjusting itself to changing conditions—without the concentration camp or the quick-lime in the ditch. The world order which we seek is the cooperation of free countries, working together in a friendly, civilized society.
This nation has placed its destiny in the hands and heads and hearts of its millions of free men and women; and its faith in freedom under the guidance of God. Freedom means the supremacy of human rights everywhere. Our support goes to those who struggle to gain those rights or keep them.
Lincoln:
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.
Which theme is expressed in both excerpts?
Americans must never forget the unfinished work of deceased soldiers.
Americans must continue the deceased soldiers’ fight to preserve both democracy and equality.
Americans must create a new form of government to honor lost soldiers.
Americans must dedicate their lives to honoring those soldiers who lost their lives in a previous war.
