This speech was called the Gettysburg address and Lincoln gave it at the dedication of the cemetery at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania on November 19, 1863.
Lincoln was elected two times. He gave his first inaugural speech, the first time he was inaugurated in 1861, his second the second time he was inaugurated, for his second term in 1865.
The Gettysburg Address was a speech by President Lincoln to dedicate a cemetery for fallen soldiers. It was a short speech that many think is the best speech a US president has ever given. Lincoln's speech was highly metaphysical and gave honor to the soldiers who fought and died at the Battle of Gettysburg. Lincoln made it clear that there was much at stake for the United States and the government that had been created so long ago. Lincoln used "four score and seven years" to indicate he was not referring to the US Constitution but to the Declaration of Independence.
The two leaders were President Abraham Lincoln of the USA and President Jefferson Davies of the CSA. The main generals were Ullyses Grant of the USA and Robert E Lee of the CSA
Lincoln issued the two Executive Orders that comprise the Emancipation Proclamation in September of 1862 and January 1863. A link can be found below.

There are two, one engraved on either side of Lincoln's big chair (in which he sits). One is the Gettysburg address, one of the shortest speeches ever written by a president. The 2nd, is his 2nd inaugural address.
