Abraham Lincoln was invited to speak at the dedication of the National Soldiers Cemetery at Gettysburg. He was told in the invitation letter that he would only have a small part in the dedication. Originally to open October 23, 1863, the date was postponed at the request of the main speaker, Edward Everett.
