Paraphrase we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure.
paraphrase
we are met on a great battlefield 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.

Our nation is in a battle, nay a war. America is testing the waters, trying to prove that our nation and other nation's that put in the effort and the passion, even when things are hard, can survive anything.

We meet, now on that battlefield and on the plains of war. We honor those who have come before us. Who saw a dream, who saw something great in our nation and gave their lives for that dream. It is just, proper, and right that we honor those who gave everything for our nation.
