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.
The Battle of Gettysburg did not start the Gettysburg Address. The Gettysburg Address was a speech given on the field where the Battle of Gettysburg was fought, because they were creating a cemetery out of part of that field in which to inter the soldiers who fought and died there.
He gave his first Inaugural speech on March 4, 1861 and his second Inaugural speech on March 4, 1865.
