The message of President Abraham Lincoln’s November 19, 1863, Gettysburg Address is still relevant in 2022. The message is to courageously resist the evil forces which threaten America or the government of, by, and for the people will perish from the Earth.

Lincoln said, “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.”

It appears the soldiers have died in vain and the government of, by, and for the people is perishing from the Earth. Fear and cowardice cannot resist evil.
