Many believed Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was a disappointment immediately after he delivered it, because the people believed that the President spoke to short to address the full magnitude of the Battle of Gettysburg. It took a while for most people to realize that Lincoln's words were actually incredibly well said, and that they actually did do justice to the Battle. As another speaker who spoke at the ceremony told Lincoln afterwords, "You've summed up in two minutes what I said in two hours and to ten times the effect."
