Lincoln claims that the Civil War...

Is testing whether a nation dedicated to liberty can survive

Brought forth a new nation on the continent

Can only endure while soldiers are willing to give their lives

Has been the proper way to decide whether or not all men are created equal

Lincoln encourages those listening to his speech to...

honor those who sacrificed their lives by ensuring that the United States recommits itself to liberty.

ensure that the soldiers did not die in vain by volunteering in the army.

complete the great task of winning the war.

dedicate themselves to remembering the brave men who sacrificed their lives by writing about it.

Which statement best summarizes the central idea of the speech?

The best way to honor the sacrifice of the dead Union soldiers is to continue fighting to preserve the nation and its values.

The influence of the founders on our nation should be limited since the country has changed and endured so much since the American Revolution.

The Union soldiers who died in the Battle of Gettysburg were heroes because they guaranteed liberty for all Americans through their sacrifice.

Lincoln believes that the Union’s efforts in the Civil War have been courageous and inspiring, but will most likely not lead to victory.

Which phrase from the text best supports the central idea?

“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.”

“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.”

“We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field”

“But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate—we can not hallow—this ground.”

What effect does the opening sentence have on Lincoln’s message in the speech?

It portrays the Civil War as a continuation of the United States’ enduring commitment to liberty and equality.

It conveys a tone of great sadness, emphasizing the tragedy of so many lives being lost in the Civil War.

It emphasizes how the United States lost the ideals of liberty and freedom fought for by the Founding Fathers.

It encourages the listeners to remember that the Founding Fathers knew that slavery should not exist in their nation.

Based on the text, which statement best describes Lincoln’s views on the significance of the Civil War?

Lincoln believes that the war will reveal whether or not a country committed to liberty and equality can survive.

Lincoln believes that the war will show whether or not all Americans support liberty and equality.

Lincoln feels that it is important for the citizens of a country to always remember and honor the soldiers that die in battle.

Lincoln does not believe that the the survival of the United States is threatened, so the war is not as important as some people believe.
