What is the conclusion of the Gettysburg Address By Abraham Lincoln?
I have to right a speech of about 12 lines (2 min. speech) and I’ve almost finished. All I am left with is the conclusion of the speech but I’m a bit confused. Please help me and write the conclusion of the speech for me.
Thanks!

It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly 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.

The only known photograph of Lincoln making that address is at this site. The photo shows civilians and soldiers crowded around a low stage. In drawings that were done after the event there are women shown but I don’t see any in the photo.

Lincoln’s most famous speech was so short, that the various photographers were not able to take a photo as he was speaking. There were photos taken that day, though. As we can see from the above link (well done, Sir!) that there are women in the crowd, most probably ladies of the town of Gettysburg, a small town in South-Central Pennsylvania.

The usual suspects would have gathered near the president, just as they do now – sycophants (yes men), local politicians, local Republicans, local businessmen, and many of them would have brought their wives.

A Day That Changed America: Gettysburg

It was the bloodiest battle ever fought on North American soil. In three days, more than 50,000 Confederate and Union soldiers were killed in the hills and fields surrounding Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Several months later, on November 19, 1863, President Abraham Lincoln traveled to Gettysburg to help dedicate the cemetery where row upon row of graves marked the men lost in battle. His moving speech, which took only two minutes to recite, would inspire the nation and stay in the hearts and minds of Americans forever.

Answer by oldbory
The audience was very underwhelmed, disappointed in fact.

They were the first to learn that the purpose of the U.S. government (and war it was prosecuting against the South) was to promote egalitarianism.
