Can someone help me summarize the following words from Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address? He stated “Fourscore and seven years ago our fathers bought forth in this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedication to the proposition that all men are created equal”
Can someone please summarize that in different words?

Abraham Lincoln's first inaugural address was delivered on Monday, March 4, 1861, as part of his taking of the oath of office for his first term as the sixteenth President of the United States. The speech was primarily addressed to the people of the South, and was intended to succinctly state Lincoln's intended policies and desires toward that section, where seven states had seceded from the Union and formed the Confederate States of America.
