In your own words, explain what this quote means and why Lincoln includes it in his Gettysburg Address:

"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."

"Yesterday, December 7, 1941—a date which will live in infamy—the United States of America was suddenly and deliberately attacked by naval and air forces of the Empire of Japan.

The United States was at peace with that nation and, at the solicitation of Japan, was still in conversation with its Government and its Emperor looking toward the maintenance of peace in the Pacific. Indeed, one hour after Japanese air squadrons had commenced bombing in Oahu, the Japanese Ambassador to the United States and his colleague delivered to the Secretary of State a formal reply to a recent American message. While this reply stated that it seemed useless to continue the existing diplomatic negotiations, it contained no threat or hint of war or armed attack.

It will be recorded that the distance of Hawaii from Japan makes it obvious that the attack was deliberately planned many days or even weeks ago. During the intervening time the Japanese Government has deliberately sought to deceive the United States by false statements and expressions of hope for continued peace.

The attack yesterday on the Hawaiian Islands has caused severe damage to American naval and military forces. Very many American lives have been lost. In addition American ships have been reported torpedoed on the high seas between San Francisco and Honolulu.

Yesterday the Japanese Government also launched an attack against Malaya. Last night Japanese forces attacked Hong Kong. Last night Japanese forces attacked Guam. Last night Japanese forces attacked the Philippine Islands. Last night the Japanese attacked Wake Island. This morning the Japanese attacked Midway Island.

Japan has, therefore, undertaken a surprise offensive extending throughout the Pacific area. The facts of yesterday speak for themselves. The people of the United States have already formed their opinions and well understand the implications to the very life and safety of our nation.

As Commander-in-Chief of the Army and Navy, I have directed that all measures be taken for our defense.

Always will we remember the character of the onslaught against us. No matter how long it may take us to overcome this premeditated invasion, the American people in their righteous might will win through to absolute victory.

I believe I interpret the will of the Congress and of the people when I assert that we will not only defend ourselves to the uttermost but will make very certain that this form of treachery shall never endanger us again.

Hostilities exist. There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.

With confidence in our armed forces—with the unbounded determination of our people—we will gain the inevitable triumph—so help us God.

I ask that the Congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by Japan on Sunday, December seventh, a state of war has existed between the United States and the Japanese Empire."

Read this line from the text:

There is no blinking at the fact that our people, our territory and our interests are in grave danger.

Spider and Turtle's Feast & Prometheus Gives Fire to Man Traditional Spider and Turtle's Feast 1One day long ago, greedy Spider was roasting yams for dinner. The tempting smell made Turtle hungry, and he knocked on Spider's door. Spider didn't want to share his meal, so he made a plan. "Hurry and wash your hands, Turtle," said Spider. "Dinner will be ready soon." 2Turtle crawled to the creek to wash. When he returned, the yams were gone. 3"You should have been more prompt, " said Spider. 4Turtle thanked Spider and said, "You must come to my home for a meal soon." 5A few days later, when Spider smelled something delicious cooking at Turtle's pond, he hoped Turtle would invite him to dinner. 6"Of course you can join me, friend," Turtle said. "Follow me!" Turtle dove into the pond and swam to the bottom. Spider jumped in after him, but he couldn't stay underwater. He tried and tried, but he couldn't get to the bottom. He finally gave up. 7Later, when Turtle came to the surface, he asked, "Where have you been, Spider? Dinner is over. You should have been more prompt." 8Spider never tricked Turtle again. Prometheus Gives Fire to Man 9In ancient times, Zeus was god of lightning and king of the gods on Mount Olympus. He didn't want to share the gods' power with humans. However, Prometheus was more thoughtful than Zeus and wanted to be helpful to the humans. 10When Prometheus learned that the humans were living in cold, dark caves, he knew that fire would improve their lives. Prometheus went to Zeus on Mount Olympus and requested fire for the humans. But Zeus refused, fearing that fire would give humans power. Prometheus needed a plan. 11Prometheus found a reed that was filled with fiber that would burn slowly. He returned to Mount Olympus, stole a spark from Zeus's lightning, and hid it within the reed. Prometheus brought the reed to the humans and showed them how to build fires. The humans were happy and grateful. 12Zeus wasn't pleased when he saw that the humans had fire. Zeus was especially angry when he realized that Prometheus had tricked him and stolen a spark from his lightning bolts. Which sentence describes Spider but NOT Zeus? A) He is unhappy. B) He is powerful. C) He learns to swim. D) He learns a lesson.
