Default These dead

《Gettyburg Address by A. Lincoln 》

Have you read the masterpiece of all time?


There is one sentence in it , as quoted:
---that we here highly resolve that these dead shall never have died in vain.


You see, dead , in most cases, serves as an adjective rather a noun , but it is not the case in the sentence above, right?
And what is you opinnion?

Thank you.
