The Gettysburg Address (simplified)

In history this week, we read about the Gettysburg Address. I couldn't understand what it meant very well, so I wrote a simplified version:

"87 years ago, our ancestors came to this continent, making a new nation, based on liberty, and having all men equal.

Now we are fighting a civil war, testing if this nation will last. We are on a battle field of that war, here to pay our respects and dedicate this place to the ones who died fighting to save our nation.

But from another pint of view, we can’t idolize this area, because the brave men have already hollowed it. The world won’t notice what we say here, but it well remember what those brave men have done.

But now it is our job to finish what those men started – for they have set an example by giving their last full measure of devotion.  For this nation will be reunited under God, and have a new breath of freedom, and shall have a government saying that the people will rule, shall not corrupt and die."

Here is a link to the original.
