Trivia: What is the last word of Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address?
Earth
Union
Remember
History
The correct answer is Earth
So why is this answer correct? : Lincoln’s most famous speech, given at the dedication of the Gettysburg Civil War Cemetery in 1863, four months after the bloody battle on the site, lasted only two minutes. Its opening line is especially well known: “Fourscore 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.” Less recognizable is its ending, which expressed the hope “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.”
