One score is 20 years, so 1863 to 2016 would be 7 score and 13 years.
20 years
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.
Abraham Lincoln
The Gettysburg Address was delivered by President Abraham Lincoln on November 19, 1863. Given during Lincoln's visit to the small town of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, just a few months after a major Civil War battle had occurred there, the Address has since taken on significance as a timeless expression of noble truths concerning sacrifice and dedication on behalf of democratic ideals.

Four score and seven years ago' was a phrase coined by Abraham Lincoln. He used it in his Gettysburg Address, and it has since become a poignant piece of history.
That was just Lincoln trying to sound Biblical about the Declaration of Independence (1776) as he made the Gettysburg Address in 1863.
87. It was the time that had elapsed since the Declaration of Independence, when Lincoln made the Gettysburg Address. Lincoln used this bibilical way of talking, to try to add gravitas to the Address, because he wasn't satisfied with it.

Since "score" in Old English means 20, the precise answer to the question, "What does 6 three score and 6 mean," is 24 (6 x 3 = 18, + 6 = 24). This is very similar to the opening of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, where he stated, "4 score and 7 years ago," which meant 87 years before the time he read his infamous speech (i.e. 4 x 20 = 80, + 7 = 87). However, since that is a Biblical quote, there's really no way of knowing what "score" meant at that time.
