What is four score and seven years?

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


What is fourscore and seven years ago?

A score is equal to 20 years, so 4 score and 7 years is 87 years. This phrase comes from the Gettysburg Address, a speech given by US President Abraham Lincoln on November 19, 1863. He gave the speech at the dedication of the Soldier's National Cemetery, near the site of the Civil War's Battle of Gettysburg which took place several months before. The speech begins, "Four score and seven years ago...", referring to the year 1776 (87 years before the speech was given) when the Declaration of Independence was signed.
