Answer 3

This statement comes at the end of Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. Re-read the speech and look carefully at the few lines immediately preceeding those you are interpreting. Consider that Lincoln's speech was made during the American Civil War. Reflect on the cause(s) of that war, and I think you'll have an idea of something to write.
The speech can be found at this link: http://www.army.mil/gettysburg/epilogue/gettysburg_address.html
