Lincoln’s remark at the end of his Gettysburg Address is a slight adaptation of the words of Theodore Parker (1810-1860), in a speech to the North Eastern Anti-Slavery Convention in May of 1850:
“A democracy, that is, a government of all the people, by all the people, and for all the people;…for shortness’ sake, I will call it the idea of freedom.”
Parker’s speech was well-known to scholars and was reprinted in “Discourses of Slavery” in 1863, the same year as Lincoln’s speech. Lincoln likely was aware that educated abolitionist listeners would make the connection to Parker’s speech and its anti-slavery purpose.

“…and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
The above is a quote from the last line of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, probably one of the greatest speeches in American history.

Surely this is the end of the Gettysburg Address, “and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
