The correct answer is "preserving freedom far into the future."

In Roosevelt's speech to Congress, he is discussing how American citizens have freedoms like speech, religion, and expression. Along with this, he is discussing how critical these rights are to citizens and how the nation must continue to unite based on these core principles.

In Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, he is discussing how the system of government established by the founding fathers must continue to live on as the full quote reads " that this new nation under God shall have a new birth of freedom, and that a government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from this earth." This quote is referring to how American society needs to continue on the foundation created when the US became an independent country.
