林肯的演讲
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 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.

八十七年前，我们的先辈们在这个大陆上给我们带来了一个新的共和国，她受孕于自由的理念，并献身于一切人生来平等的理想。
如今我们卷入了一场巨大的内战，以考验我们或任何一个受孕于自由和献身于上述理想的共和国是否能够长久生存下去。我们聚集在这场战争中的一个重要战场上，我们来到这里，是要把这个战场土地的一部分奉献给那些为使这个共和国能够生存下去而献出了自己的生命的烈士们作为最后安息之所。我们这样做是完全应该而且是非常恰当的。
但是，从更广泛的意义上来说，不是我们奉献了，圣化了，神化了这块土地，而是那些活着的或者已经死去的、曾经在这里战斗过的英雄们使得这块土地成为神圣之土，它们远超于我们的力量来使其神圣增减一分。世人不会注意，也不会记住我们在这里说什么，但是它们永远无法忘记那些英雄们的行为。这更要求我们这些活着的人去继续奉献那些英雄们为之战斗的未尽事业。我们应该在这里把自己奉献于仍然留在我们面前的伟大任务——要从这些光荣的死者身上汲取更多的献身精神，来完成他们已经完全彻底为之献身的事业；我们要在这里下定最大的决心，不让这些死者白白牺牲——要使这个国家在上帝保佑下得到新生——要使这个民有、民治、民享的政府永世长存。[1]
评价
2013年11月19日一大早，来自美国各地约万人云集宾夕法尼亚州小镇葛底斯堡国家公墓纪念活动现场。整整150年前，美国第16任总统林肯就是在这里发表了至今令世人传诵的《葛底斯堡演说》。
葛底斯堡国家公墓周边阵列的大炮及一排排白色墓碑无声地诉说着一个半世纪以前的惨烈一幕：1863年7月1日至3日发生的葛底斯堡战役正值美国内战关键时刻。在三天的战事中，双方发射了700万发子弹，双方伤、亡、失踪人数多达5.1万人，也因此成为美国历史上最为血腥的战斗。战斗结束后，仅在葛底斯堡大地上死亡的5000匹战马便成为恐怖一景。此役之后，北方赢得战争，因而避免国家分裂之势再也不可逆转。
150年前的林肯在最短的时间内、用最短的篇幅阐示了具有极为深远历史意义的理念。华盛顿、杰斐逊等美国建国之父虽也申张人权，但他们都曾经拥有奴隶，这也更能看出林肯的伟大。但如果林肯活在现世，他也会看到，150年后的今天，他所呼唤的真正的人人平等远未实现。
“当今美国仍旧缺乏自由。坦率地讲，我认为现在的政府变得太大，我对此感到忧虑。”里迪教授也认为，林肯在葛底斯堡演说中展现出一种历史眼光，即美国政府、公共机构及整个社会应平等对待所有人，在这方面，现实中的美国仍未实现这一目标。[1]

在国家安全问题上，特朗普称将对难民和移民采取“极其严格的背景审查”，取消现任总统奥巴马针对移民问题颁布的行政命令，遭遣返的非法移民再次入境美国将被判两年监禁等。
