Lincoln's aim in his Gettysburg Address was to extol liberty and honor the people fighting for our nation who died in hope that there would still be a nation in the end.

Four months later, on November 19, 1863, a memorial service was held in Gettysburg to dedicate the cemetery. The main speaker was Edward Everett, who spoke for over two hours. The unpopular President Lincoln was also invited, as a courtesy, to say a few words. His immortal speech had 272 words and took just a few minutes. It was ignored by the local media and many of the crowd present. But his words remain some of the most noble words ever spoken in the history of the United State or the English language.
