Yes, the Gettysburg Speech, also known as the Gettysburg Address, was indeed only about two minutes long. President Abraham Lincoln delivered the speech on November 19, 1863, during the dedication of the Soldiers' National Cemetery in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania. Despite its brevity, it is considered one of the most profound and significant speeches in American history.
