\it is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who
fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. it is rather for us to be here dedicated to the
great task remaining before us—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.\

24 mark for review
after 1863, which of the following most fulfilled the *new birth of fre
refers to?
a ratification of the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth
amendments

b the compromise that resolved the election of 1876

c establishment of the ku klux klan and similar organizations

d supreme court rulings such as plessy v. ferguson

Explanation:

The "new birth of freedom" in the Gettysburg Address refers to the goal of achieving true freedom and equality, especially for enslaved people. The Thirteenth Amendment abolished slavery, the Fourteenth granted equal protection and citizenship, and the Fifteenth gave Black men the right to vote. These amendments aimed to fulfill the promise of freedom for all. The 1876 Compromise (B) led to the end of Reconstruction and rollback of rights. The KKK (C) and Plessy v. Ferguson (D) restricted freedom and equality, so they don't fulfill the "new birth of freedom".

Answer:

A. Ratification of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments
