The hero’s name is

Abraham Lincoln !

【1863/ Gettysburg Address】

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.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war,

testing whether that nation,

or any nation so conceived and so dedicated,

can long endure.

We are met on a great battle-field of that war.

We have come to dedicate a portion of that field,

as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives

that the nation might

live.

It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But,

in a larger sense, we can not dedicate we can not

consecrate we can not

hallow this ground.

The brave men,

living and dead,

who struggled here,

have consecrated it, far above

our poor power to add or detract.

The world will little note, nor long remember what we say

here,

but it can never forget what they did here.

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.

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.

Abraham Lincoln speech is an American,

so you have to recite it once.
