If you state things with confidence in simple declarative sentences, many will consider you arrogant.

For some reason here in the Midwest there is nothing more offensive to people than confidence. I suppose it violates their Bible Belt sense of humility.

Intensive pronouns do not function as part of a sentence pattern. Instead, they emphasize a noun or pronoun already used in the sentence. The antecedent is the word that the intensive pronoun emphasizes. Because intensive pronouns are not part of the sentence pattern, they can be removed without changing the basic meaning of the sentence.

Is "WE" , "US" and "OUR" ok?

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.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. 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.

Myself, I like to change it up a bit.

You will note he did not say "Now we, ourselves are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We, ourselves are met on a great battle-field of that war. We, ourselves have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we, ourselves should do this."
So yes, Lincoln's use of we, us and our is perfectly correct.
