This is a first line. It will eventually become a sidebar discussing
some item of related interest to the main paragraph.
In our main paragraph, we will be discussing Lincoln's Gettysburg
address, where Lincoln said "Four score 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." The proposition he was discussing is from the declaration of
independence of the United States of America. Lincoln was referring not
just to a nice platitude justifying violent revolution, but to a major
controversy that had been raging before there even was a United States.
The controversy over slavery threatened to divide the United States
before they could become a country.
In our second paragraph, we expound on the line from the declaration
of independence to the Gettysburg address.
And a paragraph.
or two.
