Referring to this excerpt: "Fourscore 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.

I believe the answer is:

Many years ago people came together to form a nation, and now a war takes place there

The first two sentence of the excerpt Tell the story about how the united states was intially formed by the founding father. It also mentioned the story about how the effort of the founding father was almost wasted due to the civil war that take place in the country.
