The Gettysburg Address was a speech by President Lincoln to dedicate a cemetery for fallen soldiers. It was a short speech that many think is the best speech a US president has ever given. Lincoln's speech was highly metaphysical and gave honor to the soldiers who fought and died at the Battle of Gettysburg. Lincoln made it clear that there was much at stake for the United States and the government that had been created so long ago. Lincoln used "four score and seven years" to indicate he was not referring to the US Constitution but to the Declaration of Independence.

the Gettysburg Address was a speech Abraham Lincoln made at the dedication of the Soldier's National Cemetery in Gettysburg, PA on November 19, 1963. His speech, only a few minutes long, followed a two hour long speech by Edward Everett, but Lincoln's careful language and speech made it the most important 272 words in history.
