The Gettysburg Address is a speech by U.S. President Abraham Lincoln, one of the best-known in American history.
Beginning with the now-iconic phrase Four score and seven years ago, Lincoln referred to the events of the American Revolution and described the ceremony at Gettysburg as an opportunity not only to dedicate the grounds of a cemetery, but also to consecrate the living in the struggle to ensure that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
