The 3 day battle at Gettysburg between the Union and Confederate armies. Lincoln was dedicating the cemetery to the fallen Union dead from the battle. The speech he gave is one of the most important speeches given by a president. Yet, the press and audience at the time were not impressed with it. They thought it was too short and he was hard to hear.
