He exposed the sacrifices of those who died at Gettysburg in defense of those principles, and exhorted his listeners to 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.
