The Gettysburg Address was delivered by President Abraham Lincoln on November 19, 1863, during the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. The speech itself was brief, consisting of just about 272 words, and it focused on themes of unity, equality, and the sacrifice of soldiers in the Civil War. Lincoln's address was not written as a prepared speech in the traditional sense; rather, it was a poignant reflection on the significance of the battle and the principles of democracy. It has since become one of the most famous speeches in American history.
It was two minutes, at first he thought his speech was a failure, but It was actually good.:)
The setting was Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on Thursday, November 19, 1863. Lincoln was speaking at the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery. This was less than 5 months since the Union beat the Confederacy in the Battle of Gettysburg, so it was a very symbolic setting.
