RE: Ken Burns on the Gettysburg Address
There is another reference to religion in the Gettysburg Address besides the " under God " phrase that I just learned about because of this thread and wanted to pass along. The lines, "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." Contained a reference that Christians in this era may have recognized.
"This Bible is for the Government of the People, by the People, and for the People."
---- General Prologue to the Bible translation of 1384 by John Wycliffe.
" Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the American Government take care of him; better take a closer look at the American Indian." - Henry Ford
