The Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln.
"Four score" refers to a period of 80 years, as "a score" is equal to 20 years. Therefore, four score equals 4 times 20, which is 80. This phrase is famously used in Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, where he begins with "Four score and seven years ago," referring to 87 years prior.
Lincoln's Emancipation was proclaimed great honor and contact officicated in glory.
"Four score and seven years" which indicates 87 years (4x20 +7), the time between the Declaration of Independence (July 4, 1776) and the Gettysburg Address (November 19, 1863).87a score is 20 years, so 4 score is 80 years plus 7.
Literally, "four twenties and seven years ago," or "87 years ago." A score is 20. Four score is 80, and 7 is 87. So four score and seven years ago means 87 years ago. (see "Wikipedia"; "Gettysburg Address". 1863 minus 87=1776; 4th July - Declaration of Independence!) "Fourscore" means eighty (80). A score is twenty. It's not in very common use any more, but it is a word like "dozen," which means twelve (12)--a special word for a certain number. (And a gross is 12 x 12, or 144.) So if a score = 20, fourscore = 4 x 20 = 80. And 7 makes 87. 1 score = 20 years 4 score = 80 years 4 score 7 years = 87 years
score is a set of twenty so 4 x 20 + 10 = 90 years ago.
Since score is defined as 20, 4 score is 80. I am assuming by 4 score you mean 4 score years (as opposed to 4 score seconds, minutes, etc.). Since 4 score is 80, 4 score years is 80 years.
One score is 20 years, which means that 4 scores are 80 years.
